This metric encapsulates the financial contributions made towards infrastructure initiatives aimed at improving water supply and sanitation services, emphasizing projects that have successfully secured funding and operational viability. It specifically accounts for significant undertakings, such as management and lease agreements or the establishment of new facilities by a private entity alongside public partners, while explicitly omitting minor projects or those focused purely on asset divestiture. Noteworthy is the dual focus on investments in physical infrastructure—covering both new constructions and upgrades to existing systems—as well as expenditures related to the acquisition of governmental assets like service rights and enterprise stakes. Financial figures are presented in current U.S. dollars, reflecting the commitment and significance of such investments in enhancing public health and environmental quality.
