Capacity Building for Urban Sanitation Development: Background Report I Sanitation Governance: Institutional, financial and legal aspects

The document describes the context for institutional development in Component 4 of ISSDP. Following Chapter 2, which describes the approach to institutional assessment, the report is divided into two parts. Where appropriate, it includes references to other documents prepared under ISSDP, including Working notes on certain overall issues prepared under Component 1, and specific volumes of the City Sanitation Strategies being developed under Component 4.
  
Part A (Chapters 3-5) discusses the administrative, legal/regulatory, and financial context within which the cities must operate. Part B (Chapter 6-10) discusses trends and findings at city level, culminating in the approach to institutional development pursued by Component 4 in the cities. In chapter 11 provides inputs for the further development of an enabling environment for improved sanitation service delivery at city level.
