It details why infrastructure investment is likely to continue to be a core component of many poverty alleviation programs. The study also stresses why and how, in most countries, infrastructure reform aimed at promoting private financing of investment needs, must be designed in ways in which poverty concerns are taken into account. It provides practical guidelines and options to ensure that the critical needs for additional infrastructure investments are met and that the strategies to address the needs of the poor are as cost effective as possible. 410 0$aWBI development studies. 606 $aPublic utilities$zLatin America 606 $aPoverty$zLatin America 606 $aPrivatization$zLatin America 615 0$aPublic utilities 615 0$aPoverty 615 0$aPrivatization 676 $a363/.098 700 $aEstache$b Antonio$01792489 701 $aFoster$b Vivien$f1968-$0145543 701 $aWodon$b Quentin$01104883 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910958704303321 996 $aAccounting for poverty in infrastructure reform$94477266 997 $aUNINA
