Wasrebhasthemandatetoregulatethewaterservicessector(WaterAct2002),andthereforeseekstoensurethatconsumerprotectionisbalancedwithcommercialviabilityofserviceprovision.Howevermanyoftheover100registeredWaterServiceProviders(WSPs)aretoosmalltobeviable.Theycannotevenensureadequatemaintenancewithoutsubsidiesduetoinsufficienteconomiesofscale.Alsotheylackprofessionalcapacity.Incontrast,thelargerWSPs,whichexhibiteconomiesofscale,showacleartrendtowardscommercialviabilityandfinancialsustainability.

Data:Wasreb’sperformanceassessmenthasbeenmadedifficultbytheinabilityoftheWSPstosubmitcorrectdataonwaterservices.
Corporate Governance Guidelines: TheBoardwillalsohavetodealwithresistancetotheCorporateGovernanceGuidelinebyWSPsbecauseuntiltheWSPsacceptthemtheywillnotbeaccountableandmaybeunabletodeliverefficientandeffectiveservic-es.
Performance Subsidy: AlthoughWasrebhascontinuedtomonitortheperformanceoftheWSPs,thesurvivalofsomeoftheseinstitutionshaslargelydependedontheGoKsubsidywhichcoverstheircostofchemicals,electricityandsalaries.Unfortunate-ly,thesesubsidesarenotlinkedtotheperformanceoftheWSPsandthereforefailtocatalyzeorincentivizeimprovementintheservicedelivery.Wasrebwillthereforehavetoengagethenationalandcountygovernmentinensuringthatsubsidiesarelinkedtoperformance.
Sustainable Rural Water and Sanitation:WasrebwillhavetoworkcloselywithWSBs/countygovernmentstoensuresustainabilityinruralwaterandsanitation.Currently,WSBsdonotreportcomprehensivelyonruralwaterandsanitationdespiteamajorityoftheunderservedbeinginruralareas.Thiswillresultinincreasedaccess.
Funding: ThemainsourcesofincomeforWasrebare: FundingbytheGovernmentofKenya FundingbytheDevelopmentPartners/Donors IncomefromRegulatoryLevy
Wasrebwillhavetolobbyforincreasedfunding.DespitethefactthatwatersectorinvestmenthasshownarapidgrowthinthelastfiveyearsfromKsh6.6billionin2003/04financialyeartoKsh19.5billioninthe2009/10financialyear(representingagrowthof34%accordingtotheKenya Water Sector Governance Study 2009),Wasrebhasbenefitedlessfromthisgrowthcomparedtootherinstitutionsinthewatersector.
