	afrol News - Privatised Cape Verdean utility doesn't care about promises (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Extension projects are not being executed and the municipalities have become heavily indebted to produce the increased access to water and electricity that was supposed to be Electra's business.

	Water for life: the impact of the privatization of water services on child mortality
		The paper uses regression analysis to assess how variation in ownership of water services across space and time helps to explain differences in total child mortality rates and in the numbers of deaths due to specific causes, controlling for other variables such as economic and political characteristics of municipalities.
		during the first half of the 1990s, the mortality rates of the municipalities that eventually privatised their water systems decreased at the same rate as the mortality rates that did not privatise; but after 1995, mortality rates in the former municipalities decreased more rapidly than in the others
		In conclusion the paper argues that, contrary to fears that privatisation would have negative impacts on child health, it appears to have greatly increased the supply of water, reduced child mortality in areas that privatised, and had a progressive effect on health inequality.
