Immerse yourself in the story of a midsize Tanzanian town where water is scarce, flowing from taps just two hours a day. Discover how a visionary Kenyan engineering startup is transforming this challenge into an opportunity by meticulously mapping out a 12-year journey to reliable, 24/7 water access. Through a strategic partnership with city officials, they conduct an urgent audit to identify leaks, measure consumption, and analyze energy costs. They draft a concession agreement hitting key milestones: nonstop flow within three years and 80% metering in five. Their innovative approach includes tariff bands indexed to inflation and a pro-poor cross-subsidy to ensure equity. To mitigate risks, they obtain political-risk insurance, creating a safe haven for lenders and setting up a joint escrow to manage cash flow transparently. As construction kicks off, investors begin to see feasible returns, while households enjoy dependable water at a steady price. This transformation illustrates the power of transparency and structured incentives, turning fragile city systems into robust investments.
