Our Approach – benchmarking water and sanitation Complete lack of performance Measurement Performance Measurement With agreed key indicators against goals No monitoring by state and local governments Performance Monitoring at scale and at all levels: centre, state and local Use of technology for sustainability and scale Worsening urban water and sanitation service delivery Improved urban water and sanitation service delivery Set goals and priorities Influence policy and financing Service performance deteriorates over time Performance Improvement plans, tools and innovative financing Measure and monitor performance to reward and learn from success and demonstrate results

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
Key Challenges • 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
