Let’s survey a policy research brief ‘Privatising Basic Utilities in Sub-Saharan Africa: The Millennium Development Goal Impact’ from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP). You can download the whole text on the UNDP website.

Think about the essay question again.

• What parts of the texts are particularly useful?
