Page 2 Outline 07/10/ Water services regulation – from efficiency to governance 2.Entry points for regulators to promote integrity 3.Regulatory tools for better utility governance 4.Key considerations Water Action Group/Nairobi, Kenya © Water Services Regulatory Board Kenya Regulation: Catalyst for better governance and enhanced integrity in water utilities?

Page 3 1. Water services regulation – from efficiency to governance 07/10/2015  Even under effective economic regulation, corruption risks and poor governance practices in utilities can be persistent  Accountability, equality and participation are part of the cross-cutting criteria of the Human Right to Water and Sanitation  Regulatory authorities may move beyond their traditional role of promoting efficiency and protecting consumers to actively fostering sector and utility governance Economic regulation Pro-poor regulation (Urban) WSS governance Regulation: Catalyst for better governance and enhanced integrity in water utilities?

Page 4 2. Entry points for regulators to promote integrity 07/10/2015  Regulation sets incentives for responsable behaviour  compliance & corporate culture of integrity  Public reporting and ranking factoring in governance performance (comparative competition)  Reporting requirements and inspections force utilities to refine internal information and control systems  Transparent and accountable decision making make regulators a “lighthouse“ for a sector wide culture of integrity  Dialogue and information exchange with anti-corruption authorities Regulation: Catalyst for better governance and enhanced integrity in water utilities?

Page 5 2. Entry points for regulators to promote integrity 07/10/2015 (2) Process/ input orientation: Create enabling environment and support utilities in improving governance and performance  Cooperative approach / partnership Utility Regulator (1) Output orientation: Minimum intervention; Utility has discretion in deciding how to deliver performance  Detterent approach / prosection  Two approaches to reach compliance with benchmarks/standards: (1) Cooperating with utilities and (2) deterring non-compliance Regulation: Catalyst for better governance and enhanced integrity in water utilities?

Page 6 CooperateDeter 3. Regulatory tools for better utility governance Water Integrity Forum (Delft) /10/2015 Governance Principle Regulatory Tool (Examples) Transparency  Public reporting on technical/commercial performance and traceable governance indicators (e.g. ratio board exp./turnover)  Standards related to the provision of information Accountability  Benchmarking of utilities against performance targets/ GG-standards  Binding procedures for handling customer complaints  Corporate governance guidelines (board composition etc.) Participation  Consumer representative bodies (e.g. Water Watch Groups, Water Action Groups, Consumer Councils)  Institutionalised consultation of consumers (tariff adjustment) Integrity  Promote use of integrity management systems through standards  Annual “integrity awards” (?)

Page 7 4. Key considerations 07/10/2015  Water services regulation is not introduced per se to combat corruption, but it represents an effective approach to mitigate corruption risks  Sequencing: Conducive legal framework & functioning performance monitoring system must be in place  Legitimacy of regulator: Mechanisms for responsible conduct in regulatory decision making must be established (e.g. Albania)  Monitoring must be combined with effective enforcement mechanisms  Regulators may promote the development of an “integrity infrastructure“ at utility-level (IM-Toolbox Kenya) Regulation: Catalyst for better governance and enhanced integrity in water utilities?

Page Case Study: Water Services Regulatory Board (Kenya) 07/10/2015  Established in 2002 through the „Water Act“ as part of sector reforms  Mandate for economic and water quality regulation, licensing and monitoring of water service providers  „Poor Governance has proved to be one of the main constraints to sector development“ (Sector Performance Report No. 5, 2012) Regulation: Catalyst for better governance and enhanced integrity in water utilities?

Page Case Study: Water Services Regulatory Board 07/10/2015 How effective is WASREB in improving utility governance?  IMPACT Report is key source of information for the sector  > 50% of utilities comply with Governance Guideline (rising trend)  Up-scaling of Water Action Groups to 10 towns ongoing  Challenge: Capacity to enforce regulations/ Inspections on the ground/ Development of comprehensive governance indicators © Water Services Regulatory Board Kenya Regulation: Catalyst for better governance and enhanced integrity in water utilities?
