2. 22.12.2015 Seite 2 Page 222.12.2015 Background  In 1998, 19 autonomous urban water utilities were established in all regional capitals of Tanzania after amending the Water Act- based on 3 categories depending on the ability to cover O&M.  Hence, the start of full monitoring and benchmarking using the MOU between Ministry and each utility  More than 20 Indicators( technical, commercial and financial).  Submission of Monthly, Quarterly and Annual reports in paper form  Annual benchmarking + Incentives (move to higher category with more independence)

3. 22.12.2015 Seite 3 Page 3 10 years Achievement (1998 to 2008)  Utilities capable of covering O&M + part of investment increased from 3 to 12 out of 19  Coverage increased from 65% to 80%.  Revenue Collection has increased from TZS 4.3 (USD 3.3 M) billion to TZS 28 (USD 21.6 M).  Number of Customers have increased from 55,000 to 290,000 out of which 80% are metered (target 100% by 2010).  UfW reduced from 70% to 36%, target is 20% by 2010. 22.12.2015

7. 22.12.2015 Seite 7 Page 722.12.2015  Easy to make comparative analysis and benchmarking of different Utilities Benefits of using MajIs (cont.)

8. 22.12.2015 Seite 8 Page 822.12.2015  Faster analysis and compilation of reports.  Analysis of requested tariff increases.  To track the attainment of performance and MDG targets.  Special Version of MajIs now in use for capturing basic data from 104 district and small water utilities which wil be ultimately monitored using the same system.  Utilities use MajIs to monitor their performance – thus an increased demand from utilities to include more data and analysis in MajIs Benefits of using MajIs (cont.)
