Improved institutional and financial mechanisms, where corporate, social and ethical responsibilities are given due attention, are needed. An important aspect would be how to increase positive incentives -- part of this must be the measurement of performance, and a system for rewarding on the basis of that performance.enFranchising partnershipsWater sanitationHealthFranchising water servicesWorld Water Week 2010Conference PresentationWall, K., Bhagwan, J., Ive, O., & White, M.
