Description
Turning Water into a Commodity explores the use of pay-as-you-go water dispensers in many areas of the Global South, particularly those that are 'off-grid'. The book analyses the growing role of private sector companies and philanthrocapitalist organisations in development cooperation, with a focus on water supply to the inhabitants of rural and peri-urban areas in Kenya.
Rather than addressing the needs of the poor, the book reveals how the private sector opens up remote regions to market-based development, thereby excluding local approaches and actors.
