Guidance Note: Urban Water Supply Sector: Risk Assessment

Asian Development Bank | November 2009
Abstract
"ADB works in partnership with a broad range of civil society organizations to strengthen its efforts to reduce poverty""The urban water supply sector is vulnerable to a broad range of risks that can threaten development effectiveness. Risks can spring from the involvement of multiple institutions in water governance, capital intensity, large-scale procurement contracts for goods and services that lend themselves to corruption, interface between public and private sectors, and political pressure on tariffs. Additional factors include weak capacity of sector agencies, high demand for water services, water scarcity, and dispersed water provision in poorly planned urban communities. This guidance note aims to explain key sector features of urban water supply and identify entry points for mapping governance risks. "
