The proposed ADB strategy in urban development, water supply, and sanitation includes
providing support to the following areas: (i) urban development—strengthening urban, regional,
and environmental planning management; planning and development of model towns and cities in
strategic locations and along transport corridors; and infrastructure investments in priority urban
areas with high tourism potential; and (ii) water supply and sanitation—provision of piped water
supply and latrines for urban residents; expansion of improved sanitation in urban areas, including
exploration of urban waste water management and financing; and strengthening of water supply
sector planning and regulation. Potential for increasing private sector participation will be
considered in both areas, especially in (i) water supply and waste water treatment; (ii)
septage
collection and disposal; and (iii) solid waste collection, segregation, recycling and reuse.
