Performance Based Contracts For Non-revenue Water Management

摘要

Outsourcing NRW management is no panacea for reform or good governance, but it may substantially contribute to increasing the efficiency of water utilities with high levels of NRW that have been struggling for years with little success in reducing them.The World Bank and other donors have already become interested in the model (a first World Bank funded PBC is in progress in Ho Chi Minh City) and it is anticipated that the market for PBCs will move from niche to mainstream. Lessons will have to be learned, the quality of contract documents will improve, and the market will become more competitive.
