1. The document discusses improving urban water utility performance in Sub-Saharan Africa through smarter use of development financing.
2. It proposes a phased financing approach to incentivize credible commitments to effective utility management practices and use funds to support operational and infrastructure improvements.
3. The goal is to shift norms to more financially sustainable utilities able to provide near universal access to water through collaboration between financiers.

This is the rationale of this research work, that reveales not only the African Startups Ecosytems ranking, but also proposes an assesment tool for innovation public policy.

Water is critical for meeting commitments of the Paris Agreement and achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. Our economies rely on water, with recent estimates putting the economic value of water and freshwater ecosystems at USD 58 trillion - equivalent to 60% of global GDP. At the same time, water related risks are increasing in frequency and scale in the context of climate change.
How are investments shaping our economies and societies exposure to water risk? What role can the financial system play in supporting water security? And how can increased understanding of how finance both impacts and depends on water resources spur action towards greater water security?
This OECD Green Talks LIVE on Tuesday 14 May 2024 from 15:00 to 16:00 CEST discussed the evolving landscape for assessing water risks to the financial system.

There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.

The objective of this work is to contribute to valorization de Nephelium lappaceum by the characterization of kinetics of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum. The seeds were dehydrated until a constant mass respectively in a drying oven and a microwawe oven. The temperatures and the powers of drying are respectively: 50, 60 and 70°C and 140, 280 and 420 W. The results show that the curves of drying of seeds of Nephelium lappaceum do not present a phase of constant kinetics. The coefficients of diffusion vary between 2.09.10-8 to 2.98. 10-8m-2/s in the interval of 50°C at 70°C and between 4.83×10-07 at 9.04×10-07 m-8/s for the powers going of 140 W with 420 W the relation between Arrhenius and a value of energy of activation of 16.49 kJ. mol-1 expressed the effect of the temperature on effective diffusivity.

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.

Development finance incentivizes utility performance and increased
coverage. Utility is then able to attract commercial finance.

Some important messages from the study
Section 4D40 – Water, Wastewater and Waste Management08.10.2018
1. The utility must be financially viable (to eventually attract commercial
finance) and extend the network to the poor at the same time. This
requires an operating cost coverage ratio of substantially above one.
2. Good governance is the key differentiator between poor and good
performance. An important basis for sound governance is accountability.
3. As the owner of the assets (at national, regional, or local level),
government is responsible for good governance, but these conditions can
be created at the utility level. Human right to water also creates obligation.
4. As the main financiers of the sector, development partners could be
more focussed and more ambitious about utility performance and
increased access.
5. Scarce grant money would be more effective if it was used to incentivise
sound utility governance, and to fund extensions to the underserved (last
mile), rather than subsidising existing users.

So what? Four propositions:
(1) The essential conditions for good utility performance are
relatively easy to define and recognise
Section 4D40 – Water, Wastewater and Waste Management08.10.2018
(1) The Jockey
Capable and committed
utility leader – manager
(2) Revenue model
Ability to charge a tariff that
generates surplus cash for
investment after O&M costs
Competence-based recruitment Corruption-free procurement
(3) Effective use of resources (people and money)
(4) Mandate and mission to serve everybody (pro-poor)

The Jockey
Capable and committed
utility leader – manager
Revenue model
Ability to charge a tariff that
recovers at least O&M costs
Competence-based recruitment Corruption-free procurement
Effective use of resources (people and money)
(2) It is less easy to define the contextual conditions
under which these conditions will be created and sustained
Enabling and protective conditions = “governance”
(4) Mandate and mission to serve everybody (pro-poor)

Reforms focussed on the formal rules … long timeframes,
not sufficient & may not be necessary in early stages
11. Seite 11
Section 4D40 – Water, Wastewater and Waste Management08.10.2018
(3) We do not need to pre-define what the enabling conditions look like,
but a core set of credible commitments at utility level is essential
(4) It is possible to incentivise the creation of these
conditions through design of a financing ecosystem.

A proposal
Section 4D40 – Water, Wastewater and Waste Management08.10.2018
1. Fixing the “demand side”
Search for and support the core conditions for effective utility
management, through smart use of grant money and technical
assistance. This will enable utilities to receive and use funds
(including commercial loans) efficiently and with transparency.
2. Fixing the “supply side”
Create greater flexibility in the allocation of finance to better
match the effective demand where these conditions exist,
including better DFI coordination, and linking TA with financing.
Success =
1. Financially viable
2. Efficient
3. High access 90+
1 + 2 + pro-poor = 3

Why would utility managers want to participate?
Section 4D40 – Water, Wastewater and Waste Management08.10.2018
1. Immediate access to technical assistance and funds (grants and/or
a revolving loan fund) with low transaction costs, high flexibility to
improve cash flows and operations. (Phase 2)
2. Access to investment finance with lower transaction costs and
shorter timeframes. (Phase 3)
3. Managers of successful utilities are recognized and celebrated (cf.
William Muhairwe (NWSC), Neil Macleod (Durban), Ek Sonn
Chann (Phnom Penh)

A paradigm shift – changing the norm & expectation
Section 4D40 – Water, Wastewater and Waste Management08.10.2018
1. A successful program will shift the norm from utilities with low
investments, low access and low tariffs to a new norm of
successful, effective urban water utilities able to provide near
universal access to safe and reliable piped water and be financially
sustainable.
2. Is there any reason not to support the creation of 100 successful
urban water utilities in the next five to ten years?

and implement these solutions
3. When? Now and in next 6 to 12 months.
Success =
1. Financially viable
