- Tariff not sufficient for cost recovery
- Private sector discouraged from investment as tariffs low
- Will new MOHA decree solve the tariff issues?
- Political interference in tariff setting
|
Tariffs and regulation: inadequate tariffs with political interference in none transparent tariff establishment discourages investment. |
New MOHA Tariff regulation needs applying with good governance over 350 Regulators to establish |
(see below debt restructuring implementation program) |
- Autonomy of PDAM WS utility
- Local Government commitment
|
Utility Governance : allow PDAM to function independently |
Apply conditional support programs (hard/soft) |
|
- High percent of Water utilities bankrupt >70% owe MOF $500 million
- No long-term finance available
- High-level of outstanding debts of some PDAMS (owed to MOM)
|
Operator financial performance: inefficient bankrupt utilities need restructuring and operation in true business environment |
Restructure debt over 250 PDAMs GR under drafting. Issue new financial instrumentds |
Look at an implementation program to support PDAM debt restructuring country wide. |
- Bulk water supply limited
- Raw water quality poor
- Forest declaration PDAM on water quality
- No payment for environmental services
- Ground water mining
|
Bulk water supply: volume and quality rapidly diminishing due to urbanization and inadequate attention to catchments and river basins |
Provide storage and protect water catchments. Set up measures to provide raw water. Invite and facilitate Private sector |
Possible MFF starting with identification, planning, and securing raw water. |
|
|
Sanitation: prioritize sanitation government spending |
Prioritize sanitation at national level |
Support for big city sanitation programs. (See ADB current PPTA) |
- Lack of policy on public service obligations
- No benchmarking being used to measure performance
- Low levels of service
- Inefficient old infrastructure
- High NRW
- Low coverage of piped water particularly to poor
|
Services provision and Development: no measures of services provision or accountability Expansions and asset management systems needed to ensure systems able to meet needs |
Expand systems reduce NRW, introduce new technology |
TA for PDAM Road Map leading to specific support to PDAMs. Expand ongoing design WSS to MFF over larger area. |
- No river planning in urban area
- Availability of land for infrastructure
|
Spatial planning: urban planning and development inadequate |
Enforce the adoption of spatial planning. |
ADTA support to strengthen spatial planning implementation in the Decentralised Environment |
- Lack of resources people capacity
|
Human resources: technical and managerial expertise inadequate |
Implement HR action plan |
Focused knowledge sharing support. HR ADTA |
