Abstract:
Principal learnings from this work include the following:
• The domestic private sector is emerging and engaging in the water supply business. Flexibility in terms of allowing bidders to tender without bank guarantees or a track record, backed by systematic local publicity via the local radio stations, public meetings and notices, in addition to the standard publication of calls for tender in the national press, were important factors in attracting them into the business.
• The active involvement of local government and their understanding of the delegated management framework is critical. Fifteen years of experience with delegated management of the larger systems and a pilot with smaller systems allowed many basic issues to be resolved, facilitating the introduction of delegated management for smaller systems.
• Although it was always understood that clustering of several small systems under one operator would be desirable in order to generate economies of scale, by adopting a piecemeal process, starting small and gradually growing in volume, a much more robust and stable framework for operator management has been developed. This would have been difficult if large clusters had been put out to tender initially.
• Decentralization is fundamental for the management of hundreds of small systems. In particular, operator accountability is much improved by the active involvement of local authorities.
