Abstract:
Piped water access remains limited in Ghana. Only 45% of households use piped water as their primary drinking water source. This proportion is much lower in rural areas, where only 19% of households have access to piped
water.
Performance-based funding is a potential strategy to improve service delivery and financial performance in rural water systems by linking payments to measurable outcomes. While this approach has been successfully used to incentivize private service providers in Asia and Africa, its application in public rural water systems remains limited. Benchmarking, a complementary tool, allows service providers to track their performance against standardized indicators and fosters improvements through competition and peer learning. However, little is known about the feasibility of implementing these approaches in rural Ghana, where data availability and financial reporting practices are inconsistent.
This research assessed the financial data availability, financial performance, and service levels of rural piped water systems in Ghana. This information is essential to design interventions aimed at improving service delivery, such
as performance benchmarking and performance-based funding. This brief highlights key findings from financial performance and service levels analysis and discusses implications for implementing performance-based funding
programs.
