Guía de Aplicación de Gobernabilidad Corporativa para Las Empresas Urbanas de Água Potable y Saneamiento en América Latina
Esta Guía usa el marco conceptual y los resultados de dos estudios efectuados por expertos del Banco Mundial, publicados en los años 2011 y 2013, que han revelado que cuando las empresas de Agua y Saneamiento (AP&S) aplican principios y mecanismos de transparencia y de gobernabilidad corporativa, no solo dan muestra de una clara voluntad ética y promueven un mejor comportamiento de su personal, directores y gerentes, sino que además generan mejores indicadores en calidad, cobertura, productividad laboral y eficiencia. Ello significa que el impacto de la gobernabilidad corporativa, aparte de tener un carácter ético para las empresas de AP&S, también posee un carácter práctico en el logro de sus objetivos y metas.

Guidance Note on Corporate Governance for urban Water and Sanitation companies in Latin America (in Spanish)Two World Bank studies, published in 2011 and 2013, highlighted the importance and positive effects of water and sanitation companies applying principles and mechanisms of transparency and corporate governance. Beyond showing a clear ethical will and promoting better behavior of staff, directors and managers, doing so resulted in the improvement of companies’ indicators of service quality, coverage, labor productivity and efficiency. This shows that corporate governance, apart from its ethical aspects, also has a practical benefit for water and sanitation companies in terms of achieving their objectives and goals. Read More>>> |

Water Sector Note by Ghazia Aslam, Policy Fellow, George Mason UniversityThere is a growing consensus that although financial and technical issues matter, they do not constitute the only barrier to proper water provision across the world. In order to address challenges in service delivery in the water sector there is a need to focus on governance and accountability structures in the sector. Practitioners have increasingly explored social accountability mechanisms in order to address critical governance challenges in the sector (Ndwa, 2015). Social accountability approaches in the water sector have been implemented in a variety of ways, and include various dimensions. Most popularly, the establishment of water user committees, the compilation of citizen feedback, for example through score cards, and the establishment of joint mechanisms for monitoring have led to service delivery improvements in the water sector.
