Notes de l'éditeur
SWA just held its third HLM in April
HLM and SMM with Sector Ministers
Convened at the WB Spring meetings by UNICEF.
Attended by SG, World Bank Pres and DSG
20 Finance Ministers and 32 Sector Ministers from 42 countries
16 donors and banks, six at Minister/Head of Agency level
Over 300 individual commitments developed out of an in-depth multi-stakeholder process at country level and an additional 70 commtments from donors
Tremendous richness comes of all this.
Today will focus on lens of sustainability…
Sustainability was selected as one of the two themes of the 2014 HLCD, SMM and HLM
Sustainability was central in discussions at the 2014 SWA Meetings
HLCD Guidance included:
Financing: Develop financing mechanisms for service delivery with realistic cost-recovery targets, coherent tariffs, and robust asset management.
National Monitoring: Monitor functionality and indicators of sustainability.
Policy: Include in policies and strategies the concept of long-term service delivery and costing
Decentralization: Assess and develop local government capacity
Coordination: Clearly define roles and responsibility between regulators, services and maintenance providers and users
Capacity: Plan for sufficient capacity and human
(1) shift to a service industry philosophy: move to a policy position whereby water supply and sanitation services generate financial resources through transfers, tariff and taxes.
(2) Sufficient finance must be allocated to the sector to provide a robust enabling environment: capacity and resources are needed at local government level; and users and service providers need to establish mechanisms and a culture of payment for capital maintenance from user fees.
(3) Raise service levels to match expectation and demand and invest more in understanding nature of real (economic) demand: recent evidence from Uganda and India suggest that demand is increasing for higher levels of service.
(4) monitor and ensure accountability for service delivery and behaviour: governments must take the lead in defining service levels, ensure these are being met and establish robust systems for monitoring and regulation
OECD speaker at SMM noted that 87% of development aid still goes to project-type interventons.
“ We have learnt how important it is to place sustainability at the core of joint development assistance efforts and, to this end, to be very conscious of the role that local governments play in managing services ”. Hon. Ms. Lilianne Ploumen, Minister for Foreign Trade and Development Cooperation, Netherlands, SMM, 10 April
“ Donors should progressively rely more on government own systems”. Mr. Serge Tomasi Deputy Director for Development Co-operation Directorate, OECD, SMM, 10 April
