    Content: Cyprus is one of the most water-scarce countries in the world. Starting in 1960, massive dam development was carried out under the motto "not a drop of water lost to the sea." This supply-side policy proved its limit after two major droughts hit the island in 1997-2000 and 2008-09. This pushed for the massive development of seawater desalination and wastewater reuse through public-private partnership schemes. As of 2018, the Republic of Cyprus has successfully achieved potable water security-a remarkable achievement for one of the most water-scarce countries in the world. Despite these worthy successes, Cyprus still faces several important remaining challenges to move toward fully sustainable water management: (i) focusing on demand management, (ii) modernizing the financial and institutional framework, (iii) complying with the EU Urban Wastewater Treatment Directive, and (iv) developing a sustainable strategy for irrigated agriculture

    Content: This report analyzes four water public private partnerships (PPPs) undertaken in Armenia between 2000 and 2016 and the start of a national water lease contract that began in January 2017. It provides an overview of each of the four first generation PPPs. It explains the steps taken by the Government of Armenia to create an enabling environment for the PPPs, including the decision-making process. The report also provides comparable details on how each PPP contract was designed and implemented, including the following parameters: tendering, contract terms, capital investment program, financing, tariffs. The results obtained for each PPP are included, particularly operational results (continuity of water supply, electricity use, non-revenue water, et cetera) and financial results (billing, revenues, subsidies, et cetera). This analysis is provided in a succinct way, with main messages and lessons learned provided for each PPP contract and for the entirety of the PPP experience over the first 16 years. The report also discusses the new national lease contract, which builds directly on the experience of the first set of water PPPs. It concludes by reflecting on some key issues to be addressed as the new lease contract begins: the timely implementation of capital expenditure; provision of services to unserved communities; and expansion of wastewater collection and treatment

    Series Statement: Water Papers
    Content: Despite being one of the most water scarce countries in the world, Israel has achieved water security and full cost recovery through tariffs through a series of ambitious reforms. This involved nine key innovations, namely (1) putting in place a national water conveyance system to connect all water infrastructure, (2) reuse of treated wastewater for irrigation, (3) large-scale desalination PPP for potable water independence, (4) using aquifers as reservoirs, (5) interception of surface water run-off, (6) promoting crop selectivity and importation of virtual water, (7) efficient irrigation technologies, (8) demand management and public communication, and (9) creating a supporting environment for innovation. The Israeli experience holds nine important lessons learned, which are of major importance for other countries facing increasing water scarcity: (1) building public awareness of the value of water, (2) control of water allocations, (3) access to quality data for integrated management, (4) national conveyance water system, (5) massive infrastructure investment must be done in parallel with institutional reforms, (6) low price for desalinated water depends on well-designed PPP schemes, (7) wastewater reuse is beneficial but requires subsidies, (8) corporatization of water utilities requires sound regulation and heavy-handed supervision, and (9) even in a country with large resources and strong capacity, this has been a long process and mistakes have been made

    Series Statement: Trends and Policy Options (PPIAF)
    Content: Cet ouvrage s'adresse aux responsables gouvernementaux ainsi qu'aux bailleurs de fonds et aux autres parties prenantes dans les services d'eau urbains. Il analyse les resultats enregistres par plus de 65 grands Partenariats public-prive (PPP) du secteur de l'eau (representant plus de 100 millions d'habitants desservis) mis en cuvre dans differentes regions du monde sur une periode de 15 ans, du point de vue de l'acces a l'eau, de la qualite du service, de l'efficacite operationnelle et du niveau des tarifs. Il vise a mieux comprendre comment resoudre les multiples problemes que pose la fourniture de services d'eau et d'assainissement dans les villes des pays en developpement (PED). La population urbaine desservie par des operateurs prives de services d'eau dans les PED n'a cesse de grossir depuis 1990. Pour bon nombre d'entre elles, les progres constates en matiere de service et d'efficacite confirment l'interet des PPP. La mise en cuvre de PPP pour les services d'eau dans les PED a rarement ete une tache facile, et ils ne doivent pas etre consideres comme la seule voie de reforme possible. Neanmoins, il ressort de cette analyse de donnees factuelles qu'un partenariat bien concu entre les secteurs public et prive dans un PED peut etre efficace pour redresser une compagnie des eaux peu performante. Le principal objectif ne doit plus etre d'attirer des capitaux prives mais d'utiliser des operateurs prives pour ameliorer la qualite et l'efficacite des services. Un cercle vertueux se cree alors, par lequel la compagnie des eaux ameliore sa situation financiere et devient progressivement capable de financer une part plus importante de ses besoins d'investissement

    Series Statement: Water and Sanitation Program
    Content: Infrastructure plays a key role in promoting economic growth and opportunities.In particular, the efficient provision of basic infrastructure services, like water and sanitation, is a key ingredient in fostering a country's social and economic development. Previous studies have found that infrastructure has a positive impact on output, and can improve economic opportunity, including health and education for the poor, particularly in developing countries. In Argentina, a 2005 study, found that child mortality fell by 8 percent in areas that had experienced improved coverage and quality of basic water and sanitation through utility reform, with most of the reduction occurring in low-income areas where the water network expanded the most. More generally, Fay and Morrison found that allowing the poorest quintile in developing countries the same access to basic services as the richest quintile would reduce child mortality by 8 percent and child under development by 14 percent. Calderon and Serven also found a significant positive impact of infrastructure access and quality on overall inequality. Furthermore, the book sheds some light on how to address the main challenge for the future which may be to attract specialized operators to the smaller municipalities which do not currently have them. For that purpose in Colombia, for example, over the last two years, the policy framework has been focused on promoting the sector's development, by using the departments as the intermediate institutional level between the National Government and the municipalities, to formulate programs with regional impact and promote comprehensive investment plans

    Series Statement: Water Sector Board discussion paper series no. 13
    Content: The Western and Central Africa has one of the longest experiences with public-private partnerships (PPPs) in the developing world, both for water supply and for combined power and water supply utilities. Cote d'Ivoire has a successful partnership dating from 1959, and over the last two decades as many as 15 countries (out of 23 in the region) have experimented with PPPs: eight for water supply operations alone and seven for combined power and water supply operations. This discussion paper documents the region's experience with PPPs for urban water supply in a comprehensive manner to help inform the current debate about the benefits brought by PPPs, in the context of helping Africa to achieve the Millennium Development Goals (MDG). Eleven PPPs have been studied, and detailed performance indicators are reported for six large cases - Cote d'Ivoire, Senegal, Niger, Mali, Burkina Faso, and Gabon, with at least four years of private operation. Through its successes and failures, the Western and Central African experience offers interesting lessons that other developing countries could reflect upon as they strive to improve the quality of urban water supply services, increase the efficiency of operations, and establish the financial credibility of the sector

    The Challenge of Reducing Non-Revenue Water in Developing Countries--How the Private Sector Can Help : A Look at Performance-Based Service Contracting (2006)

    Content: This study explains that one of the major issues affecting water utilities in the developing world is the considerable difference between the amount of water put into the distribution system and the amount of water billed to consumers (also called "non-revenue water" [NRW]). High levels of NRW reflect huge volumes of water being lost through leaks, not being invoiced to customers, or both. It seriously affects the financial viability of water utilities through lost revenues and increased operational costs. In this report, a number of case studies, taken from some of the largest and most recent performance-based NRW contracts, are studied and discussed in terms of their technical and financial performance. Lessons learned from the case studies are analyzed, showing the potential benefits of NRW performance-based service contracting with the private sector. This paper was prepared as part of a Public-Private Infrastructure Advisory Facility (PPIAF)-financed study to investigate opportunities for the use of the private sector to assist water utilities in developing countries in reducing non-revenue water. This study indicates that the private sector help ailing public sector utilities in developing countries reduce NRW even though the performance- based service contracting approach described should not be seen as a substitute for overall sector reform. The case studies, while limited in number, provide examples of both good ideas and those to be avoided-but hopefully enough to help a utility and its consultants devise better cost-effective contractual arrangements suited to their conditions
