Karnataka Integrated and Sustainable Water Resource Investment Programme Urban Water Supply and Sanitation Component Draft Final Report: Volume 1 Institutional - Road Map August 2012 TA 7954-IND: KISWRIP Draft Final Report: Volume 1-Institutional Road Map August 2012 Foreword This Draft Final Report has been prepared as a deliverable of the PPTA-7954 IND: “Karnataka Integrated and Sustainable Water Resources Management Investment Programme – Urban Water and Sanitation Component”. The comments made in this Report are not made to criticise, but as a means of achieving the required long-term institutional and financial improvements that the stakeholders, including ULB staff desire. Considering the scarcity of staff, the lack of any structured approach to UWSS management is inevitable. The service is maintained through the dedication of the ULB and the operational staff, and their desire to provide the best service within their capability to provide. During the preparation this Report, I have unashamedly plagiarised from the work of others, in particularly for the institutional “as is” position. The reason is simple. The issues facing the sector are well known, and well documented. Previous Reports and Studies have both adequately described these issues, and the comments made have been accepted by Stakeholders. Consequently, I saw little point in re-visiting the issues, but instead concentrated on the changes to be implemented for the future – the “Criteria for Success”, as we have called them. Although it is not possible to reference each incidence of usage from the Report of CDTA7418, the CLIPS, DPRs and ADB Aide Memoires, even our own ToR, the use of these documents is acknowledged now. I would add that the work by my colleagues in assessing the technical and financial issues from their site visits and meetings is unique, as is the work of the safeguard experts. During the course of the preparation of the Report, considerable advice, guidance and assistance has been provided by the Steering Committee and the staff of the KUIDFC, the local ULBs, KUWS&DB and by the engineering staff responsible for the existing on-going UWSS projects within the subject towns. This kind assistance, without which this Report could not have been produced, is herewith duly acknowledged and credited. In particular, the assistance and advice offered by the Managing Director of the KUIDFC and our Core Nodal Officer has been essential. Many of the recommendations made in this Report are theirs. I have merely taken their suggestions, polished them and fitted them into the overall context of the Programme.
