2 Water Policy Programme
Phase I: 2002 - preliminary assessment of extent of incorporation of
water (WSS and WRM) under PRSPs in five African countries: Uganda, Zambia, Malawi, Kenya and Madagascar
- ie: review of PRSP preparation, both content & process: revealed inconsistent and often weak incorporation of water issues.

3 Water Policy Programme
Phase II: 2003-2004 (until end March)
Detailed study of progress of PRSP implementation in three countries, Uganda, Zambia, Malawi and Tanzania, in order to:-
a. investigate how resources, allocated to WSS priorities in PRSPs in the region, are converting into expenditure on WSS-related outputs/outcomes;
b. recommend how capacity for action by central & decentralised government may be strengthened to deliver on promises made in PRSPs - and how those commitments may be developed - for achievement of water-related poverty reduction outcomes;

4 Water Policy Programme
Phase II: 2003-2004 (continued)
c. make recommendations for how external donors may support this effort.
- ie: investigation of PRSP implementation and particularly two themes:-
(i) finance; (ii) design/delivery of WSS interventions under PRSPs.

Summary of Findings
from Malawi, Uganda, Zambia and Tanzania Country Studies
in Finance and Design/Delivery of WSS interventions
![Page 7: Strengthening Design, Finance and Delivery of Water Supply and Sanitation Programmes under PRSPs](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013004/56816842550346895dde1645/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
7 Water Policy Programme
Malawi - context
• Weak capacity – lack of donor confidence in sector
• Funding sources – highly uncoordinated, so tendency for impacts to be much reduced
• Current levels of spending are substantial, but no effective means for targeting
![Page 8: Strengthening Design, Finance and Delivery of Water Supply and Sanitation Programmes under PRSPs](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013004/56816842550346895dde1645/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
8 Water Policy Programme
Malawi - summary of findings1. Attempts at budgetary and policy reform, in line with the
PRSP, have had limited success
2. Insufficient information and lack of systematic sector-wide criteria to guide investments; assessment on a project-by-project basis
3. Consequently lack of planning coherence; difficulty in monitoring spending and evaluating results.
4. User financing of water points is low due to inconsistent community management practices and lack of financial accountability.
![Page 9: Strengthening Design, Finance and Delivery of Water Supply and Sanitation Programmes under PRSPs](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013004/56816842550346895dde1645/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
9 Water Policy Programme
Malawi – key recommendations
A. Study has illustrated the utility of “water-point density mapping” to show distribution of resources within districts and sub-districts
NB: Use of equity of distribution indicator which measures the variation in the distribution of
resources for water development in a given area
- as a way of measuring the difference in access to water services between different areas (e.g. in a whole district).
![Page 10: Strengthening Design, Finance and Delivery of Water Supply and Sanitation Programmes under PRSPs](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013004/56816842550346895dde1645/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
10 Water Policy Programme
Equity of Distribution Indicator Steps
• Water point survey – age, provider, location and condition of improved community water point
• Translation of GPS data into maps
• Calculating improved community water point density (“ICWP”), based on census statistics of population distribution in area; GPS/GIS database created on number & location of water points
• Calculate average density in the area, deviation from mean and equity of distribution
![Page 11: Strengthening Design, Finance and Delivery of Water Supply and Sanitation Programmes under PRSPs](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013004/56816842550346895dde1645/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
11 Water Policy Programme
Malawi – key recommendationsB. Unless there is adequate attention to improving
sustainability, investments will continue to be ineffective in reducing poverty
NB: Use of sustainability “snapshot” which measures sustainability according to three indicators of sustainability of community water infrastructure:– financial – availability of finance for repairs;– technical skills – access to skills to carry out repairs;– equipment and spare parts – access to and
availability the variation in the distribution of resources for water development in a given area.
![Page 12: Strengthening Design, Finance and Delivery of Water Supply and Sanitation Programmes under PRSPs](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013004/56816842550346895dde1645/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
12 Water Policy Programme
Sustainability Snapshot• Three levels of grading of availability of finance,
technical skills and equipment/parts:-– 1: not available when needed;– 2: some availability, but not sufficient;– 3: available for all maintenance & repair needs.
• Score each community and its facilities against the above to determine the level of sustainability
• Product of interviews with community respondents.
![Page 13: Strengthening Design, Finance and Delivery of Water Supply and Sanitation Programmes under PRSPs](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013004/56816842550346895dde1645/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
13 Water Policy Programme
Uganda – scope of study
• Analysis of planning, monitoring and evaluation systems
• Assessment of equity and sustainability - calculation of water point density at sub-
country and parish level in sample district.
![Page 14: Strengthening Design, Finance and Delivery of Water Supply and Sanitation Programmes under PRSPs](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013004/56816842550346895dde1645/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
14 Water Policy Programme
Uganda – summary of findings - I
1. Equity Issues
- distribution of water points across the district is uneven
- at sub-district level, inequity in distribution of water points increases further
- to understand whether WSS objectives are being realised, monitoring and analysis needs to go beyond district-level aggregates
- inequity increases rather than decreases over time: poorly served parishes remain unserved ‘more for some, none for some’
![Page 15: Strengthening Design, Finance and Delivery of Water Supply and Sanitation Programmes under PRSPs](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013004/56816842550346895dde1645/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
15 Water Policy Programme
Uganda – summary of findings - II
2. Sustainability- analysis of sustainability: poor and non-poor are both
able to finance O&M, but the poor have less access to technical skills and equipment and spare parts - which may undermine water point sustainability in poorer areas
3. Planning and Monitoring- despite coherent policy and strategy, equity and
sustainability remain a concern
![Page 16: Strengthening Design, Finance and Delivery of Water Supply and Sanitation Programmes under PRSPs](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013004/56816842550346895dde1645/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
16 Water Policy Programme
Uganda – summary of findings - III4. Indicators of Performance - inadequate: district-level coverage figures do not tell the
whole story, and neither do total no. of people served
5. Local Capacity- planning guidelines are not followed because incentives
for compliance are weak;
- guidelines for community contributions are inconsistently followed, with lack support of local elected leaders;
- limited capacity for M&E (information collection and analysis) at district level and inadequate mechanisms for feeding back to national level.
![Page 17: Strengthening Design, Finance and Delivery of Water Supply and Sanitation Programmes under PRSPs](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013004/56816842550346895dde1645/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
17 Water Policy Programme
Uganda – recommendations
A. Adopt the “water-point density mapping” tool (as per Malawi) for planning and monitoring distribution of resources
B. Sustainability “snapshot” is a useful means of expanding understanding beyond functionality
C. Need to develop indicators to measure the performance of districts in planning and management terms.
![Page 18: Strengthening Design, Finance and Delivery of Water Supply and Sanitation Programmes under PRSPs](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013004/56816842550346895dde1645/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
18 Water Policy Programme
Zambia – scope of study
• Resource allocation and flows, decentralisation and poverty reduction
• Budgeting process
• Estimation of financing requirement to meet MDGs.
![Page 19: Strengthening Design, Finance and Delivery of Water Supply and Sanitation Programmes under PRSPs](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013004/56816842550346895dde1645/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
19 Water Policy Programme
Zambia – summary of findings - I1. Delays in Budget Execution- budgeting process has been reformed and is logical,
but significant time-lag exists in budget preparation and actual release of funds
2. Impediments to Financial Planning - WSS sector budget heavily dependent on donor
funds (up to 80%); combined with lack of systematic criteria for sector allocation, this impedes integrated financial planning
3. Impediments to Monitoring- govt is unable to track overall donor expenditure;
therefore is unable to monitor sector performance
![Page 20: Strengthening Design, Finance and Delivery of Water Supply and Sanitation Programmes under PRSPs](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013004/56816842550346895dde1645/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
20 Water Policy Programme
Zambia – summary of findings - II4. Roles/Responsibilities Unclear- lack of clarity in roles and responsibilities of the different ministries
which are sectoral spending bodies
5. Decentralisation- local government has as yet little input into the preparation of
sectoral budgets, and there is currently no effective mechanism for decentralised needs assessment
6. MDG Financing Requirement- using rural population growth estimates, and the water point
inventory of 1993-97, the study calculated 1,813 new water points every year to achieve MDG targets;
- assuming average costs per borehole, an estimated USD 9 million per annum is needed to reach rural MDG targets (high, but affordable?).

21 Water Policy Programme
Zambia – recommendations
A. Use existing water point inventory as a tool to contribute to district-level planning of sector investments
B. Decentralise fiscal control through mechanisms such as conditional grants.
![Page 22: Strengthening Design, Finance and Delivery of Water Supply and Sanitation Programmes under PRSPs](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013004/56816842550346895dde1645/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
22 Water Policy Programme
Tanzania – summary of findings - I
1. Fragmented Budget - national budget fragmented into line items which reflect individual
initiatives negotiated with individual donors outside the planning process: difficult for line ministries to prioritize sector spending in line with PRSP priorities
2. Existing Inequity in Access; Inequitable Investment - access to piped water supply is inequitably distributed across
expenditure quintiles;- richer households have better access to piped water supplies than
poorer; - donor projects are predominantly for piped systems;- piped water supplies cost 10 times that of protected water supplies;- therefore investment is effectively targeted to richer households
including the public subsidy.

23 Water Policy Programme
Tanzania – summary of findings - II
3. Regional Inequities- marked regional disparity in terms of improved water
supply coverage, eg. between Lindi (11%) and Kilimanjaro (74%).
![Page 24: Strengthening Design, Finance and Delivery of Water Supply and Sanitation Programmes under PRSPs](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013004/56816842550346895dde1645/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
24 Water Policy Programme
Tanzania – recommendations - I
A. Move towards a Sector-wide approach and General Budget Support
- by water sector donors (especially those working in rural water supply) - in order to enable line ministries to restructure budgets in line with PRS
priorities - “mould” of a donor-by-donor dynamic can only be broken through GBS
which brings the MoF and planners centre-stage
B. Develop guidelines for district level investment policy- to direct local authorities to phase investment based on the returns (in terms of number of additional people served per dollar invested)- before investing in boreholes, examine the cheaper option of protecting
traditional sources.
![Page 25: Strengthening Design, Finance and Delivery of Water Supply and Sanitation Programmes under PRSPs](https://reader031.fdocuments.in/reader031/viewer/2022013004/56816842550346895dde1645/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
25 Water Policy Programme
Tanzania – recommendations - II
C. Introduce Formula-based Budgeting Mechanisms- to even out region (and district) disparities- e.g. resources allocated to districts according to number of
population who do not have access to clean water and sanitation (as assessed by national surveys)
NB: Malawi and Uganda studies show need also to investigate
disparities within districts.

26 Water Policy Programme
Tanzania - issues for more research
• The livelihood impact of water supply interventions - interface between domestic and productive water supply
• Relationship between time spent fetching/carrying water and the reliability of the water point.
• Tariff setting, user contributions, livelihoods and impact on sustainability
