| Summary: | "This book suggests a strategy to overcome what appears to be an otherwise hopeless situation - 'micro-privatisation'. Governments can hand over responsibility for many public services to small private or community enterprises. The quality, efficiency and outreach of the services are considerably improved and the costs significantly reduced." "To illustrate the efficacy of this strategy, Malcolm Harper presents 24 real life case studies from Asia, Africa and Latin America, and also from the USA and Europe, which demonstrate that micro-privatisation is practical anywhere. The activities covered by these successful initiatives include urban services, utilities, agricultural services, health and hygiene, transport, welfare and education. The analysis accompanying the case studies identifies the problems encountered and the solutions adopted."--BOOK JACKET. |
