Great post Apoorva! I thought you brought up a lot of compelling issues that deserve more attention. It seems that many of the big questions out there for the BoP are the impacts of the government on the BoP and the BoP on the government at different levels. Obviously these private sector approaches often take off in areas where the government either can't or won't provide the services, but what is the long-term impact? Will successful partnerships develop that can strengthen both partners, will BoP ventures run the risk of establishing parallel systems that create inefficiencies in the system as a whole? (or, as you mention, become inefficient through trying to get through government bureaucracy!) What are the expectations of community members for both private enterprises and the government in these partnerships and how do they change over time? Keep up the good work!
