Abstract: The South African government is committed to helping local governments make full use of service delivery 'partnerships' in improving the quality of essential urban services for its citizens, as so many other governments are now doing worldwide. A key part in this effort is being played by the Municipal Infrastructure Investment Unit (MIIU), a not-for-profit company established in 1998 for the purpose of using grant funding and technical help to guide the process of preparing and negotiating concession contracts and other forms of municipal service partnerships at the local level across South Africa. This article covers the MIIU's operations and rationale in an effort to describe one important way in which the government is responding to the challenges associated with extending basic municipal service provision to all of its citizens.
