Casablanca (Morocco), an example of public-private partnership [Ressource électronique]
Management of the water supply, sanitation and electricity in the city of Casablanca in Morocco has been delegated by the Moroccan Government to a private sector consortium, Lydec, since 1997. During the last five years, Lydec has invested more than 220 million euros, with nearly half of this amount earmarked for sanitation. Overall results indicate a better customer service, an increase of more than 20% in terms of the number of population served with water and electricity, and a saving of 24 million m[SUP3] of water per year. However, the main achievement is the trust that has been developed between the customers, the government sector and the private operator, which allows a better service to be provided to all.
