9. CHALLENGES FOR THE CARIBBEAN
REGION
•Declining amount of fresh water
• Discontinuity of water service
• Low coverage of sewerage networks and/or waste water treatment

• High inefficiency on energy consumption (30% of operational
budget)
• Water tariffs do not cover production costs
• Inefficiencies in the management of WS utilities/ weak corporate
governance of utilities

16. PROJECT CHARACTERISTICS
• All operations include institutional component to address:
organizational efficiency, financial sustainability improvement, and
non revenue water and asset management
• Majority of operations with energy efficiency component
• The Global Environment Facility (GEF) in partnership with the IDB
and UNEP are seeking to use GEF resources to help mobilize greater
investments in wastewater management facilities in the Wider
Caribbean Region (CREW): US$ 18.0 for 2010 for projects in Jamaica
and Guyana.
• Water Operators Partnership (WOP) which supports the exchange of
information and practices among water operators
• Knowledge products in waste water and solid waste
17. Corporate Governance Toolkit
• Support an assisted self-assessment of the
practices applied by the WSE in the area of CG
• Assess the practices applied by comparing them
with four levels of development (from “basic” to
“state-of-the-art”)
• Give an orientation to develop action plans in
order to improve practices
19. Benefits from strengthening CG in state-
owned WS Enterprises
• That the WSEs may pursue their purpose (provide
good quality services to all at affordable rates) thanks
to their sound business model and financial health
• That WSEs may not drain scarce public resources
• That the CG structure of WSEs protects them against
the main risks
– Loss of value of the capital invested
– Abuse from well-connected interest groups
• That the State develops ownership policy for WSEs
– Differentation between ownership policy and social policy
– Differentiation between the political and the business-like.
WSE’s should generate value, be efficacious, sustainable, and
efficient.
