Institutional Analysis

Multiple Players(implementing agencies)-PHED, WASA, Cantonment Boards, Overlapping jurisdiction and roles Dis-joint in asset creation and asset management Poor Management/Governance Structure Lack of Accountability

Separate contract awarding and implementing agencies-procurement problems Inadequate Financing and lack of funding Conflict of interest Absence of water rights and market

Economic Analysis

Supply driven asset creation Absence of economies of scale Low water tariffs and poor collection efficiency
People

willing to pay higher Informal private sector charging much more

Poor Cost Recovery hence not conducive for private sectors participation

The program supports a two-stage reform process; First stage reforms build on the provisions of SLGO (section 54 (2) (f)) which allows for participating TMAs to jointly establish regional utility;
This utility is North Sindh Urban Services Corporation (NSUSC).

Can hire from open market for skilled managers and staff Can provide monetary rewards for improved delivery Multiple ownership reduces risk of capture Skills-based Board can enhance accountability Facilitates ring-fencing of WSS and SWM costs & revenues

Second Stage Reform


22

NSUSC would enter into performance-based management contracts with specialized private sector providers;
Thus WSS & SWM operations will be outsourced;

NSUSC assumes a greater role in management contracting. Private sector will be engaged through PPP procurements
