This report assesses the performance of three projects and ratings for each are as follows: (i) the Cartagena Water Supply, Sewerage, and Environmental Management Project (the Cartagena Project) – outcome was satisfactory, risk to development outcome, low, Bank performance was satisfactory, as well as Borrower performance; (ii) the Water Sector Reform Assistance Project (WSRAP) – outcome was moderately unsatisfactory, risk to development outcome was substantial, Bank and Borrower performance were both moderately unsatisfactory; and (iii) the Water and Sanitation Sector Support Project (WSSSP) – outcome was moderately unsatisfactory, risk to development outcome, substantial, and Bank and Borrower performance were both moderately unsatisfactory.
... See More + Key lessons include: (i) Consolidation of smaller WSS operations servicing poorer neighborhoods can foster economies of scale and cross-subsidization in achieving financial sustainability at the aggregate level; (ii) Small municipalities with limited service coverage require large capital investments, and because of their lack of financial autonomy, government subsidies would be required until full cost recovery is achieved; (iii) It is crucial to phase and/or sequence project activities to ensure achievement of the objectives of utility operators; (iv) Management capacity of the utility can be strengthened by contracting a competent operator; and (v) A carefully designed M&E system and comprehensive planning are essential for success.

Project Performance Assessment Report 111404 DEC 29, 2016
Ratings for the Zambia: Water Sector Performance Improvement Project were as follows: outcome was moderately unsatisfactory, risk to development outcome was high, World Bank performance was moderately satisfactory, and Borrower performance was moderately unsatisfactory.
... See More + Some lessons learned include: (i) Maintaining the financial viability of a service provider requires strategies to deal with exogenous factors in addition to securing technical and commercial efficiency of operations; (ii) Sustainable provision of water supply services in the face of growing population and demand requires active coordination between the authorities responsible for longterm water resource planning, and service providers; and (iii) Alternative approaches need to be actively explored and adopted for urban and rural sanitation, especially when conventional sewerage may not be financially feasible.

Project Performance Assessment Report 111134 DEC 19, 2016
The main objective of this report is to identify and analyze the main issues faced by the WSS services in Turkey and to initiate a dialog with authorities on opportunitiesto enhance the quality, sustainability (technical and financial), and affordability of service provision as Turkey works to reach compliance with the European Union (EU) Drinking Water Directive (DWD) andthe Urban Wastewater Directive (UWWD) and with WSS related aspects of the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD).
... See More + This objective is also very consistent with Turkey’s focus on reaching the recently established Sustainable Development Goals. The report identifies questions which were discussed ata high level workshop and related inputs subsequently received. Collecting and organizing the data necessary to perform in-depth analysis has provena challenge that could not be overcome in the timeframe of this study. The report therefore reliessolely on publicly available data and studies and on information collected through meetings withTurkish counterparts and EU colleagues and disseminated or validated at the workshop. This report is designed and written for high-level officials and authorities in central and localgovernments. Chapter one, which presents the sector’s main objectives, institutional arrangements,and regulatory framework, is kept short, as these are well-known to the target audience of thisreport.Chapter two presents an overview of the technical and financial status of the WSS.Chapter three compares the requirements of the EU Drinking Water and Urban Wastewater Directiveswith Turkish regulations and presents a short overview of the current compliance levels. Chapter four estimates the cost of reaching compliance with regulations related to wastewatercollection and treatment and service provisions in three scenarios: (i) under EU Urban Wastewater Directive requirements; (ii) under Turkish standards for nutrient removal in sensitive areas; and(iii) under Turkish standards of scenario 2, plus compulsory nitrogen removal treatment forcities of more than 50,000 people. It estimates the costs and operation and maintenance (O&M)requirements of existing infrastructure (per available data), incremental costs needed to complywith the regulations in each scenario, and where data is available, the related impact on O&Mand tariffs for utilities.Chapter five proposes questions worthy of further analysis which were discussed at a high-level workshop.

This paper is a synthesis of the findings of reports that look at the drivers of performance in energy and water utilities in Sub-Saharan Africa.
... See More + This paper also provides other insights on issues that complement the findings of these reports. Additional data and evidence were harvested from the analysis of water and electricity utilities in all three reports, which enabled a broader perspective on the sector wide variables impacting performance, beyond internal variables for specific utilities. The two water studies provide guidance on how to provide good quality services to customers, including the poor. In contrast, because of data constraints, the energy study was limited to a narrower but deeper assessment of operational performance in Burkina Faso, Côte d’Ivoire, Kenya, Senegal, and Uganda. The reports fill a gap in the literature of the utilities’ performance in Sub-Saharan Africa and expand on the determinants for performance, identify the traditional and nontraditional mechanisms for reaching the poor, and highlight the critical elements for turning bad-performing utilities around. While the three background reports provide a significant step ahead (as they serve mainly as a mirror for performance assessment at the country and utility level), the reports also aimed at providing direction in the region for sector-wide improvement.

Poor water supply and sanitation (WSS) service provision at the municipal level led to the concentration of authority under the National Water and Sewerage Service (Servicio Autónomo Nacional de Acueductos y Alcantarillados, SANAA) in the mid-1900s.
... See More + Fifty years hence, the pendulum swung back to the decentralization of WSS services after the difficulties encountered by a single public entity in developing and managing the WSS operations of an entire country. Decentralization of public services aims to improve service quality by vesting decision making power in local authorities with a better understanding of local realities, and who are more accountable for their performance to voters. This culminated in the passage of 2003 Water and Sanitation Framework Law, which decentralizes WSS service provision in Honduras. The law delegates WSS service provision authority to municipalities, who in turn establish the service provision model to use within their jurisdiction. As of mid-2016, 13 WSS systems have yet to be transferred to municipalities on account of lingering questions about employee salaries and local capacities; these concerns are particularly pronounced in the nine small towns that have not yet received transfer. At the same time, Honduras is urbanizing and small towns are growing, especially along the GoH’s identified Development Corridors. The government recognized that establishing sound institutional models while small towns are still small will help avoid problems of unplanned urban growth that bedevil large cities in Honduras and across Latin America. The TA set out to achieve four objectives: (i) inform development financing to improve WSS service in small towns; (ii) inform government policy and strategy through the national sector policy instruments; (iii) strengthen capacity of small town WSS service providers; and (iv) deepen and disseminate knowledge around WSS service provision in small towns.
