Private sector participation in urban services in India
In two urban areas in India - Navi Mumbai near Mumbai and Vishakhapattanam in Andhra Pradesh - contrasting approaches have been used to engage the private sector in SWM.

These experiences clearly show the huge potential for job creation and improving service quality when all stakeholders play their part.
