The document discusses rural water supply services and public-private-community partnerships (PPCPs) in Kenya. It notes that post-construction support and non-functionality of rural water systems is a big challenge. It advocates for water point mapping to provide evidence for policymaking, targeting interventions, and monitoring functionality. The summary discusses how water point mapping in Busia County led to increased budget allocation for water services. Finally, it outlines various PPCP models being used in Kenya, including lease operators, private operators, and pre-paid water technologies, to enhance community management of water services.
10012014 WASH PLATFORM INCEPTION WORKSHOP - SNV PRESENTATION
- 1. SNV FRWSS - Functional Rural Water Supply Services & PPCP Overview Presented by: Binagwaho Gakunju Venue: ICIPE Hotel, Mbita, Homabay Date: October 2nd 2014
- 2. Context: The Sustainability Question for Rural Water 2 • Post Construction support- a big challenge. • Non-functionality 30-40% • Rural data gap • Management ‘to think that communities can be empowered to manage fairly complex water systems no longer seems realistic. Just as it is utopian to think that the government can manage and maintain all the rural systems…’
- 3. Functionality of Rural Water Supplies Approach 3
- 4. Mandated Institutions - Why Water Point Mapping & After WPM 1. Evidence Based Policy and Investment planning 2. For effective targeting interventions (market) 3. Improved Equity and inclusion 4. Support coordination of WASH platforms 5. Monitoring and Evaluation • Currently making the case for WPM in partner programme counties; • End Goal 1 – Institutionalising water point functionality monitoring for mandated institutions • End Goal 2 – Develop sustainable consumer feedback mechanisms as part of the service delivery approach
- 5. Busia County – O&M Cost Recovery & Resource Leveraging • Through the use of the WPM data, budgetary allocation to Busia DEWNR increased from Ksh 71M in 2013 – 2014 to 402M in 2014 – 2015 • Knowledge management, through WPM and stakeholder collaboration, is an effective tool for leveraging resources 5Title
- 6. PPCP Options to Enhance Community Management (Service Delivery Approach) • Professional Manager • Private Operator • Lease operator • Service contracts • Other PPPs (Pre-Paid Water Service Technology)
- 8. PPCP Modelling • 8 PPP contracts signed by two WSBs in the lake region 2 Lease Operators (LO) + 5 Private Operators (PO) + 1 Professional Manager (PM) Improved operational efficiency • In Kajiado – Pre-payment in 3 Communities- improved cost recovery (Water For Ever-Maji Milele a Dutch-Kenya company)
- 9. Market Access Program - Enterprise Performance
- 12. Other PPPs– Water Forever Pre Paid Pilot •3 operating handpumps in Kajiado County •Limiting cash in hand transaction •Option of pro-poor tariff system •Online monitoring for transparency and accountability 12Title
Editor's Notes
- #3: Despite considerable investment in the rural water sector, around 18 million people (48%) currently use unimproved drinking water sources. It is unlikely that Kenya will meet MDG targets of access to safe drinking water unless there is a drastic shift in implementation strategy. Â It is the Sustainability of rural water supplies which has increasingly become a challenge. Â According to reports based on Water Point Mapping findings (SNV, 2010, 2013) this is attributed to the lack of a clear post construction management, operation and maintenance (O&M) system. Â This is supported by findings of the Value for Money Study which established that 57% of the entire water supply investment in rural areas of Kenya was unproductive because of non-functionality (Price Waterhouse Coopers, 2007). Â There are question marks that the community management model as currently used may not manage the cost of operation and maintenance, we need to look for other service delivery models at scale (PPPs with People-Public (Counties) and Private Sector) Â Over the years, SNV has partnered with UNICEF to implement a number of Program Cooperation Agreements that have embraced emerging approaches to help guarantee sustainability.
- #8: In partnership with two Water Services Boards (WSBs) in the Lake Victoria region, the project has developed a conceptual framework for Public Private Community Partnership (PPCP) models for engaging private firms  In this model, WSB engages an Operator (Private Firm) through a Lease Contract. The national regulator approves the framework for water tariff setting and enforcement, while taking into consideration of affordability and cost recovery principles. The project educates users on pros and cons of engaging private firms, orients private sector firms on possible business opportunities and models; and supports public authorities (WSBs and County Governments) on participatory and transparent procurement process.
- #13: Indeed, to think that communities can be empowered to manage fairly complex water systems no longer seems realistic. Just as it is utopian to think that the government can manage and maintain all the rural systems.
