Benchmarking of water supply utilities is now common practice worldwide. It involves collection, analysis and comparison of key performance data between water utilities in a country, a region and worldwide.

Benchmarking is also considered a very important management and planning tool for utility management, primarily because its results would

• provide ministries, agencies and governments with an overview of the current status of water supply in their country and recommended solutions to their development challenges
• be a basis for international organizations and donors like Asian Development Bank to develop effective and efficient investment projects in the sector

Water utilities participating in the exercise can assess their performance, identify strong and weak points, and develop timely solutions to their problems.

Top

• Provide opportunities for water utilities in smaller countries in South East Asia, particularly those that have not received financial support, to implement a benchmarking program
• Develop and share comparative water utilities performance data
• Enhance capacity within SEAWUN to manage the benchmarking program and expand use of the process and the data within water companies and other relevant organizations
