Engaging NSPs
NSPs have specialist capacity and flexibility to
operate in different conditions and offer services
NSPs can help stimulate demand, and respond to
changes in demand.
Government and NSPs cannot do it alone: Gov’t can
enhance its roles as enabler while NSPs can fill the
gap in implementation.
Innovation is often driven by NSPs.
Cost sharing options can stimulate household
demand and financing, and leverage funding from
government and other sources.

IWADCO Project Sites
These are the informal settlers
of Erap Homes (named after the
former president who owns the
lot). They occupied the place
claiming they were supporters
of the former president.
Although supply from the
concessionaire is readily
available, they cannot connect
due to lack of documents (e.g.,
land titles).
