	title = {Cape Verde: assessing the financial sustainability of water supply systems},
	year = {Submitted},
	abstract = { <p>In March 2005, IRC undertook a study to assess the financial sustainability of water supply systems for five municipal Autonomous Water and Sanitation Companies (SAAS) at the Santiago Island in Cape Verde. IRCs research in these areas led to the conclusion that, in some areas, due to the way in which tariffs are set, the productive use for irrigation from a multiple use water supply may lead to serious problems to equity and financial sustainability, thereby threatening and undermining the entire system.</p>
