  2. Water Supply and Sanitation Coverage • Water supply coverage – on track • Sanitation coverage – mixed results • More work needs to be done in Cambodia, Indonesia, Lao PDR, Mongolia, Fiji, Kiribati, Papua New Guinea and Timor Leste. • While the progress in meeting quantitative targets is significant and laudable, there are continuing concerns over the quality of the services. • It is estimated that 90% of Asia’s wastewater is discharged untreated – polluting groundwater, rivers and coasts.

  3. What needs to be done? • Create an enabling environment • Sanitation policies and plans • Institutional arrangement • Capacity development • Sustainable and affordable financing and cost recovery mechanism • Increase awareness andinvolve stakeholders • Hygiene and sanitation education in schools • Social marketing of sanitation • Working with communities: in planning, financing, construction, operation and management of facilities

  4. What needs to be done? • Increase investments • Allocate budget for sanitation • Promote partnership with the private sector • Support small-scale providers and entrepreneurs • Increase public awareness and involve stakeholders to stimulate demand • Address affordability and sustainability issues • Address administrative and legal constraints It is estimated that the annual costs of meeting the 2015 sanitation target are about $7 billion for sanitation facilities, and $53 billion for wastewater treatment.

  5. What needs to be done? • Target the poor • Work with NSPs • Information, education and capacity development • Participation of the poor in planning, implementation and monitoring • Partnership between the local governments, poor communities and NSPs • Innovative financing approaches • Output-based aid: Nepal, Philippines • Microfinancing: Bangladesh, Philippines • Revolving fund: India Viet Nam

  6. NSPs: Responding to Fill the Gap • Water NSPs • Informal private water providers • Small-scale independent providers and small water enterprises • Civil society organizations (NGOs, FBOs, CBOs) supporting community-based management • PPP operators for water services • Sanitation NSPs • Small private providers – typically support household-level services, such as construction of toilets, emptying pits, desludging septic tanks, supplying component parts, etc. • Civil society organizations supporting community-based management, sanitation promotion and marketing • PPP operators – typically large-scale urban water and sewerage systems

  7. NSPs: Responding to Fill the Gap • Engaging with stakeholders • Promotion, social marketing, advocacy, CLTS • Hygiene, sanitation and health education • Empowerment and capacity development • Community based solutions • Marketing low cost solutions • Providing technological options • Small piped network • Septage management • Decentralized wastewater treatment • Reuse of waste: ecosan toilets, biogas • Introducing innovative financing

  8. Issues and Actions

  9. Issues and Actions

  10. ADB’s Contribution • Technical assistance • Urban services for the poor • Pilot and demonstration activity • Financing models for small-scale water providers (PHI) • Small-piped networks (PHI, IND, VIE) • Output-based aid • water supply connections and HH latrines (NEP) • Lending • Private concessionaire (INO)

  11. Lessons Learned • Enabling environment • Stakeholder awareness and participation • Institution building • Partnerships among stakeholders • Commitment from users to contribute financially

  12. Lessons Learned • Social marketing, community-led initiatives • Consideration of social aspects • Adequate support systems and capacity development on technical, financial and management options. • Provision of water supply and sanitation services as an entry point for other development initiatives.

  13. Conclusion • Sanitation coverage in Asia is increasing • Quality of service still major concern • NSPs cover 10-50% of the population • Address institutional, legal and financial constraints • Successful WSS programs of NSP that can be replicated and scaled up • Engage communities and partner with the private sector to improve efficiency in service delivery • Support non-state providers to reach the uncovered sectors, especially the poor
