Our Approach – benchmarking water and sanitation
Worsening urban water and
sanitation service delivery

Lessons and Challenges
Key Lessons – 1
Scale is critical to demonstrate importance of performance assessment systems
Working with governments is essential, but so is patience…..adequate time required to mainstream in government system – 5 to 7 years
Government ownership and regular reviews are essential
Once fully set up, PAS can be used for both outcome monitoring and rational investment decisions
Benchmarking exercise needs to be linked to performance based funding
Need to strengthen delivery of water supply and sanitation Lack of functioning bulk water meters Consumer level water meters non-functional Many Sewage treatment plants non-
functional due to poor maintenance on-site sanitation services poor
Meeting the financing gap for water and sanitation – low cost –no cost options
Linking performance measurement to service improvement is necessary to sustain interest of local governments
Key Challenges
