Small water utilities with fewer than
5,000 connections comprise over 90 percent of the known
network systems in urban areas in the Philippines. By
developing their capacity to improve their performance, they
have more chances of being creditworthy and bankable so that
they can finance investments for expansion and service
improvements. The Small Water Utilities Improvement and
Financing (SWIF) Project of the World Bank's Water and
Sanitation Program (WSP) in the Philippines worked with 11
small water utilities to help them do strategic planning and
prepare performance improvement plans and to prepare cost
recovery tariffs as well as project proposals that can be
submitted to a bank. They can easily reorganize their
investment plans to suit available financing. This smart
lesson shares lessons learned by the project team in helping
these small water utilities become bankable, including
making sure everyone gets training, ring-fencing the
accounts of water operations, and helping close the gap
between what utilities want and what banks want. |
