Water Notes: Maynilad Partners with Cagayan De Oro to Improve Operational Efficiency

What's this item about? What makes it interesting? Write a catchy description to grab your audience's attention...This guidebook was originally developed for a series of 9 WOPs on development of
Performance Improvement Plans in Africa, which were funded by the OPEC Fund for
International Development (OFID) in 2013-2015.

The global volume of non-revenue water (NRW) or water losses is staggering. Each year more than
32 billion m3 of treated water are lost through leakage from distribution networks. An additional 16
billion m3 per year are delivered to customers but not invoiced because of theft, poor metering, or
corruption.

Since its establishment in 2008, Waterlinks has facilitated more than 50 water operator partnership (WOPs) in the Asia- Pacific region.

To help build the capacity of cities and utilities to promote the adoption of improved water and sanitation practices, Environmental Cooperation-Asia (ECO-Asia), a program of the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Regional Development Mission for Asia (RDMA), developed the 10-Step Promotion Program Toolkit.

The Mumbai Slum Sanitation Program:Partnering with Slum Communities forSustainable Sanitation in a Megalopolis. The city of Mumbai (formerly Bombay) in India has undergone metamorphic changes over the years, because of the rapidpopulation growth and changing character of the city’s economy and socioeconomic composition. The challenges involved inproviding basic services, particularly adequate housing and related infrastructure, are enormous. Sanitation especially posesdaunting challenges since more than half of the city’s population of 13 million, that is, 6.3 million people, live in some 2,000densely populated slum settlements. In these slum settlements, residents have to largely depend on public toilets provided bythe government. These sanitation facilities are poorly maintained for the most part, and thus cause serious public health andenvironmental risks for the entire population of the city. An estimated one in 20 people in these slum settlements are compelledto perform daily ablutions and relieve themselves in open areas. Insecurity of tenure, complex land ownership patterns, technicalproblems, and other constraints pose formidable obstacles to strategies and programs that aim to address the problem.
