1. Framework for Water Governance 
1.1 Background 
The world’s water resources are increasingly under pressure with climate change only set to 
exacerbate the challenges ahead. It is now widely acknowledged that, at global to local scales, “the 
scarcity at the heart of the global water crisis is rooted in power, poverty and inequality, not in 
physical availability”. In a dynamic and fast changing background—i.e., with continuous changes 
in political, legal, economic, social and technological aspects around water—it is important to ensure 
that efforts to improve water resources management and services over the best long term prospects. 
With the increasing relevance of the concepts of sustainable development and resilience, the 
approaches to how water resources and services are managed and governed have seen a significant 
shift over the years. The engineering- and technology-driven management approaches are currently 
being scrutinized, and more integrated approaches emphasizing good governance have emerged. 
1.2 Governance 
Governance is a prerequisite for improving water management. Governance can be defined as “the 
process of decision-making and the process by which decisions are implemented (or not 
implemented)”. In Graham et al. governance is described as “the interactions among structures, 
processes and traditions that determine how power and responsibilities are exercised, how decisions 
are taken, and how citizens or other stakeholders have their say”. The characteristics or the attributes 
of governance have also evolved from a state-centric and hierarchical problemsolving approach, to 
‘good’ governance, promoting openness, efficiency, rule of law, justice, transparency, 
accountability, broad participation, decentralization and deliberation. The World 
Bank report entitled ‘Governance and Development’, sets out the definition of good governance as 
the manner in which power is exercised in the management of a country’s economic and social 
resources for development . There are other layers of governance attributes which have emerged 
recently, and these are described as the ‘new governance’ models, which are society-centric, 
multilevel, collaborative and market-based. In the resilience discourse, adaptive governance, and its 
attributes, appears as the most common approach towards building resilience capacity. 
4
Knowledge Management under Water Governance and Capacity Building - WG&CB Support - Jacobabad 
Resilience scholars define adaptive governance as the ability to evolve, adapt or transform in a 
situation of change, through a range of interaction and actions that occurs between divergent actors 
in a social-ecological system, in order to meet a desired state. 
1.3 Water Governance 
Water governance appeared in the scientific literature with the evolving nature of natural resources 
management approaches. Pahl-Wostl provides a clear distinction between the two, where water 
management is described as the activities to analyze and monitor resources along with measures 
developed and implemented to keep the resources within a desirable condition, and water 
governance as a social function that helps regulate development and management of the water 
resources and services along with providing guidance towards a desirable state and away from an 
undesirable state. 
In the last two decades, the definition of water governance has been disputed by practitioners and 
researchers alike. Different schools of thought have adopted and interpreted governance from 
different perspectives, and international forums and platforms have understood and used this term 
with divergent interests, and sometimes with conflicting objectives. Water governance has been 
referred to both as a process and as an outcome, which gives rise to different usage of the term. 
Allan defines water governance systems as those that determine who gets what water, when and 
how and who has the right to water and related services and their benefits. His focus is on the 
outcome. Lautze et al., on the other hand, review various definitions of water governance and 
conclude that (i) governance is consistently viewed as the processes involved in decision-making; 
(ii) the processes of decision-making take place through institutions (including mechanisms, systems 
and traditions); and (iii) the processes and institutions of decision-making involves multiple actors. 
In doing so, they relate governance to the processes and institutions involved in decision-making, 
and not to the outcomes of that decision-making. 
1.4 Core Governance Areas Applied to Water Areas 
Based on literature review, we summarize the core governance actions in following framework 
which is water supply and sanitation focused as under; 
5
Knowledge Management under Water Governance and Capacity Building - WG&CB Support - Jacobabad 
Core Governance Areas Application to Water and Sanitation 
Policy and Strategy Water and sanitation services related policies, legislations and 
strategies. Recognition of the human rights to water and sanitation 
Coordination Effective coordination among all actors involved in service 
delivery—national and local government, donors, service providers, 
users and other stakeholders 
Planning and 
preparedness 
Developing water and sanitation infrastructure, increasing the level of 
service and sustaining it over time. Increasing preparedness and 
contingency planning for more resilient services. Strategic and annual 
planning. Hazard and vulnerability assessments for services 
Financing Sustainable financing of the entire lifecycle of water and sanitation 
services. Operating and maintenance costs; institutional support costs; 
rehabilitation and expansion costs. 
Tariff setting and revenue collection; water-related taxes; willingness 
to pay; pro-poor financing strategies; subsidies. Reduction of non￾revenue water. Private sector engagement in financing of services. 
Management 
Arrangements 
Asset ownership and management of infrastructure; service provision 
modalities (e.g., public utility, local government, private operator, 
community-based model, self-supply, etc.). Infrastructure 
development arrangements, including expansion and rehabilitation 
Operation and maintenance arrangements. Strategies, arrangements 
and guidelines for water treatment and re-use. Mechanisms in place 
for the provision of alternative water supply (e.g., water trucking) and 
contingency planning in case of failing systems due to extreme events. 
Monitoring, Evaluation 
and Learning 
Systematic, routine monitoring of services and service delivery, 
including equity in access, service levels (in terms of quantity, quality, 
reliability), and functionality. Resource centers; knowledgesharing 
and peer learning mechanisms. 
6
Knowledge Management under Water Governance and Capacity Building - WG&CB Support - Jacobabad 
Regulation Regulation of both the service provider and the service itself, 
including explanations of competency, economic regulation and 
tariff, service quality, consumer protection, public health and 
environment. Mechanisms for enforcement at different levels 
Capacity Development Capacity development strategies and centers for continuous training 
for staff, service providers, regulators, CSOs and users; Capacity 
development for both individuals and organizations. In decentralized 
contexts, it might require continuous technical support for the local 
actors who have assumed new institutional roles. 
1.5 Governance Attributes 
Water governance attributes describe how the governance functions are performed. Published 
literature identifies following key attributes; 
Multilevel governance implies that there are decision-making centers or governing authorities at 
different levels (vertical) or layers (horizontal i.e., arrangements that may not necessarily stand in 
hierarchical order but have a certain level of independence and interdependence between institutions 
within the same level of governance). Within this, nested and polycentric governance are common 
descriptors used in academic literature. In this case the Jacobabad Municipality has nested multilevel 
governance, where the Municipality is fairly independent but borrows its legitimacy from the Local 
Government Department. 
Participation implies the meaningful and active involvement of a broad spectrum of stakeholders, 
including vulnerable or marginalized groups in decision making processes. 
Deliberation features mechanisms that facilitate open communication and discussion through 
mediums of debate, dissent, mediation and negotiation to create a common ground of collective 
action. 
Inclusiveness is recognizing the rights of individuals and groups across different categories, needs 
and vulnerabilities, and without any kind of discrimination based on race, color, age, gender, 
7
Knowledge Management under Water Governance and Capacity Building - WG&CB Support - Jacobabad 
religious affiliation, ethnicity, language, disability, economic backgrounds or any other conditions 
of origin. 
Accountability and transparency 
Refers to the principle whereby elected officials and those that have a responsibility in water services 
or water resources management account for their actions and answer to those they serve. It also 
implies openness and public access to information so that citizens can understand the decision￾making processes that affect them, and are knowledgeable about the standards to expect from public 
officials”. 
Evidence-based decision-making around water seeks to identify and leverage reliable technical and 
scientific, empirical and contextual evidence for decision-making. 
Efficiency in process management means that processes and institutions produce results that meet 
the needs of society while making the best use of resources at their disposal. This includes 
workflows, specific activities, and steps that must be taken with the objective of providing a clear 
idea of how the processes serve to transform the inputs to an effective and sustainable output. 
Impartiality and Rule of law refers to having legal frameworks and mechanisms that are designed 
and enforced impartially, in a fair and non-discriminatory manner, reflective of the human rights￾based approach. 
A last attribute is adaptiveness to all kind of challenges. 
2. Methodology 
By interviewing and engaging the internal project employees and external stakeholders, we 
triangulated information available on the project. We used the framework stated above and put 
information as per the Governance attributes for Water Governance and attempted to define the 
8
Knowledge Management under Water Governance and Capacity Building - WG&CB Support - Jacobabad 
practices and approaches, adopted by the Project. By doing this, we have created compilation of the 
best practices adapted by the project. These best practices can be critically reviewed, discussed and 
be replicated elsewhere. 
3. Approaches and actions which can be termed best practices 
3.1 Policy and Strategy
Developing a policy and strategy in the WATSAN sector is globally recognized to have challenges. 
In majority of the cases, (a) scattered decision making within different ministries (b) non recognition 
of water supply as a human right and (c) dysfunctional water utilities are the reasons. Successful 
policy and reform implementation requires political will and facilitation, but technical, economic, 
environmental and social considerations are also important. The impediments to implementation are 
complex, and effective solutions are demanding and highly interrelated. In the case of Jacobabad 
Water Supply Scheme, the Water Governance Project has adopted a two pronged approach; at one 
end the project has engaged a varied group of members of Sindh Parliament and on the other hand 
project has adroitly worked on creating demand for the WASH services. The engagement with the 
Sindh Parliamentarians has culminated into formation of a loosely knot WASH Caucus in the 
Assembly. The Caucus provides an avenue to interact and generate a debate on the water, sanitation 
and health issues in the Assembly. The action of forming a caucus is an established practice in the 
Parliament around the world. This practice needs to perpetuate and connected up with the services 
demand, created within the recipient population. 
3.2 Coordination
This function comprises the processes, mechanisms, instruments and platforms that promote and 
ensure multilevel, multi sectorial, and multi-stakeholder cooperation among all actors—relevant 
ministries and departments of central, regional and local governments, civil society, academia, 
external support agencies and the private sector. It entails information sharing, dialogue and 
collaborative decision-making, linked to policy making and planning. When Project activities are 
matched against the framework of best practices, the Water Governance Project has successfully 
attained all coordination functions. Over past 14 months, the Project has engaged all relevant 
stakeholders from the end beneficiary to the highest policy maker. A terse and effective coordination 
mechanism has been established between community and decision makers. This mechanism has 
9
Knowledge Management under Water Governance and Capacity Building - WG&CB Support - Jacobabad 
multiple layers. By establishing Muhalla WASH Committees, a coordination structure was created 
for the life of project, which would create a sustained demand for the quality water related services. 
A next level the complaint cell was established at the Jacobabad Municipality. The complaint cell 
is a place where any citizen of Jacobabad can come and lodge a complaint related to water supply 
services. These complaints are resolved in time, up till now the complaint resolution rate is 25%, 
this is low; but what project is attempting to do can be equated with, creating ripples in a still pond. 
The innermost wave of ripple always takes some time to reach to the brink of the pond. This practice 
is unique among the local government institutions of the Province of Sindh, not even the largest 
Municipal Corporation can claim to have. With a continuous process of raising grievance, the system 
starts adapting and responding.The Project has successfully provided coordination platforms for all 
important actors to interact and share experiences. One such example is holding of quarterly 
coordination meeting. In addition to these actions, the Project has successfully coordinated with 
USAID and its partner in the construction of the Water System, the Municipal Services Delivery 
Program. The coordination has been mainly in the shape of in person meetings, written feedbacks 
and sharing of the information. We can easily conclude that the Project has done coordination par 
excellence, with all the tiers in Government and with all the relevant stakeholders. 
3.4 Planning and Preparedness
Planning is the process of data collection and analysis, formulation of actionable plans and 
estimation of costs. Planning typically produces time-bound roadmaps with estimations of human 
and financial resources. Plans not only focus on expanding or increasing the level of service or 
securing water of adequate quality for different purposes, but also on sustaining service levels while 
developing water resources sustainably, by ensuring continued investment in asset maintenance and 
adequate management regimes. Preparedness refers to the arrangements, capacities and knowledge 
developed by governments, response organizations, external agencies, communities and individuals 
to anticipate and plan, to be able to mitigate and respond effectively to the impact of potential or 
current shocks and stresses, including those related to climate change. The water supply and 
distribution network, laid within the city limits of the Jacobabad, remains exposed and vulnerable 
to the damages caused by other public sector utilities. Over past 14 months of the Project 
implementation, damage to the infrastructure has been done multiple times. The Project teams have 
10
Knowledge Management under Water Governance and Capacity Building - WG&CB Support - Jacobabad 
proved to become more resilient to the damages and interruption of the water supply. Now the 
community workers are not only vigilant and on the look for any such damage, but more importantly, 
these workers have inculcated a sense of unique ownership within the populace. Now the city 
dwellers, citizens, have to be satisfied that the water supply line will not be damaged as a result of 
any other civic activity. 
3.5 Monitoring Evaluation and Learning 
This function refers to ongoing, systematic processes of collecting, analyzing, evaluating, and using 
data to track performance and inform planning and decision-making. Evaluation is an exercise to 
systematically and objectively assess progress and achievement of an outcome, which may include 
assessment of an activity, project, program, strategy, policy, topic, theme, sector, operational area 
or institution’s performance. Evaluation helps in determining the relevance, impact, effectiveness, 
efficiency and sustainability of the intervention. Learning includes formal and informal processes, 
whereby stakeholders exchange good practices and information and use the newly acquired 
knowledge in managerial decisions to adapt and improve policies and programs. Information based 
decision making is hall mark of a learning organization. 
In order to transform the Jacobabad Municipality from a “business as usual” water utility, into a 
well performing and learning organization, Water Governance Project team has maintained a heavy 
focus on the data collection, compilation and its use for the decision making in the 
Municipal Water Supply. The data collection has been done for the; 
(a) water supply in million Gallons - annex 1, 
(b) status of water supplied in the distribution network - annex 2, 
(c) a comprehensive and detailed record of the physic-chemical status of the water being supplied 
for the human consumption – annex 3 and most importantly 
(d) keeping a detailed log of the electricity supplied for pumping water in the supply system - annex 
4.

3.5 Lessons from Field - 1 
The good example for data based strategic decision making, is the compilation of electric supply 
log. The Project team, painstakingly maintained record of, the hours and minutes, the electricity is 
supplied for the water supply system. By doing this team was able to generate powerful and 
convincing evidence. This evidence when put forth, in front of the decision makers, resulted in an 
instant change of the strategy. Based on the data and evidence, subsequent raids were made by the 
law and order personnel to cut off the illegal electricity connections. These raids were made a 
number of times. Thus the evidence was used as a tool for accountability of the Sukkur Power Supply 
Company (SEPCO), it kick started a series of actions, which not only made the electric supply stable 
for the water supply system but also eliminated the illegal connections. 
3.6 Lessons from Field – 2 
Unlike any other municipal institution in the Province of Sindh, the Jacobabad Municipal Committee 
is regularly conducting the physical and chemical assessments of the water, at different segments of 
the water supply system. These tests are being done at the source of the water, the reservoirs, the 
water filtration plant and the over head reservoirs. The Project team has been able to conduct these 
tests at the consumer level. This practice is unique to Jacobabad and has only been possible through 
the continuous Project support. The practice has identified many critical areas within city, where 
Coliform bacteria were located. Based on this finding a cause of contamination was located and 
rectified. This level of precision testing, using the physic-chemical test to pin-point contamination 
is not practiced in other municipal institutes of the Province. This activity is completely sustainable, 
because the Municipality resources are used; financial as well human. 
12
Knowledge Management under Water Governance and Capacity Building - WG&CB Support - Jacobabad 
3.7 Capacity Development 
This function refers to the processes by which organizations, society and individuals systematically 
stimulate, develop, strengthen and maintain their capabilities over time to set and develop their goals 
and objectives to be able to manage water services and resources sustainably. This could be through 
knowledge development, awareness building, training and skills development, and improving 
systems and processes. 
Water Quality Testing: 
The Sindh Water Commission, mandated by the Supreme Court of Pakistan, declared 80% of the 
water samples in the Province of Sindh to be unfit for the drinking purposes. The commission made 
a binding recommendation to the municipal institutions for a regular testing and analysis of the 
quality of water being supplied to the citizens. Accurate and precise water quality findings 
require competent analyst who is furnished with necessary analytical facilities. 
13
Knowledge Management under Water Governance and Capacity Building - WG&CB Support - Jacobabad 
Unqualified individuals need to consult qualified analyst for the same analytical assistance. 
Researchers with limited analytical skills only require working concurrently with the qualified 
analyst; when this is not practical, subcontracted water samples should be accompanied 
by relevant commercial certified matrices of known concentration for tracing result validity. 
Water quality managers can omit the burden of extensive water quality parameters to be 
analyzed; this is possible when EC values are preliminarily assessed. Hence, time and financial 
resources can be served; focus on other parameters of concern (e.g trace elements) can be 
preferred. National water quality database can simply be constructed in developing countries; 
characteristics of respective water storages such as aquifers can be identified, and the need 
for new testing on the same region can be minimized. The Project team has made a drastic 
improvement and lasting impact on the capacity of the Municipality staff. This impact is glaringly 
visible in the capacity of the municipal staff to conduct the chemical tests in the laboratory. Adopting 
sage like zeal, the Chief Chemist of the Project trained the municipal employees diligently. As a 
result, Municipal Committee Jacobabad is probably the only Municipal Institution in the Province 
14
Knowledge Management under Water Governance and Capacity Building - WG&CB Support - Jacobabad 
which budgets the availability of the chemical parameters and does the chemical analysis of the 
water on regular basis. This is a feat for a medium sized Municipality in the remote Northern region 
of Sindh. The Water Governance Project and its approach proved to be a catalyst and enabled the 
Jacobabad Municipality to conduct regular analysis of the water quality and take corrective 
measures, where these are possible. 
Water supply to the citizens of the Jacobabad 
The Municipality in Jacobabad was endowed with a water supply scheme in 2007, but it could not 
be used and utilized for the citizens. The reasons were myriad; however chief among many was the 
technical expertise and capacity to run a big water supply system. 
15
Knowledge Management under Water Governance and Capacity Building - WG&CB Support - Jacobabad 
Being cognizant of the fact, the Water Governance Project adopted a three pronged approach of (a) 
doing a baseline assessment of the municipal staff, (b) designing a training specific for the staff of 
the Municipality and creating an opportunity of “learning by doing”. The learning by doing 
opportunity occurs, when the water is being supplied to the city, the municipal staff assigned works 
closely with the field engineers of the Water Governance Project. The work entails, observing, being 
mentored in the mechanics of the water supply, e.g. maintaining the pressure gauges, surveillance 
for a leakage and making water reach up to the last mile. These actions are easier said than done, 
16
Knowledge Management under Water Governance and Capacity Building - WG&CB Support - Jacobabad 
because each of it requires presence in field, a complete and thorough knowledge of how the water 
runs flows and behaves in the pipes and above all an inquisitive mind to ask questions on the 
impediments. 
In the last 6 months, the field engineers of the Water Governance and Capacity Building Project 
have transmitted these concepts slowly and gradually to the staff. The municipal hydrology concept￾transference has always been coupled with the actual performance in field. The model has worked 
well and now the mid level managerial staff of the Municipality works with confidence and operates 
the system, albeit chaperoned by the Project team, with more confidence. 
The Project team enabled the Jacobabad Municipality staff, to operate a big water supply system, 
has contributed enormously to the sustainability of the system. This is one of the best practices of 
the Project and in the longer run the approach can be more refined and adopted at formal capacity 
building institutes in the water sector. 
4. Conclusion 
The Water Governance Project was commissioned by the United States Agency for International 
Development, to implement a radical set of reforms in the Jacobabad Municipality. These reforms 
are catalyst to pull an institution, out from its state of apathy to public service, into an arena of 
responsive service delivery to the citizens. 
Governance as described above is a complex concept; it has non-linear ramifications into multiple 
folds of individual, institutional and collective life. For instance, the UN “good governance” 
principles identify some of the governance qualities that establish a baseline for good governance. 
They include promoting legitimacy and voice through participation, consensus, and informed 
decisions; the performance of institutions and processes through responsiveness, effectiveness, and 
efficiency; promoting accountability and transparency; ensuring fairness by implementing equity, 
rule of law, and conflict management. These principles are reiterated through the Human Rights 
Based Approach (HRBA) to water governance, derived from the 1948 Universal Declaration of 
17
Knowledge Management under Water Governance and Capacity Building - WG&CB Support - Jacobabad 
Human Rights which includes the principles of universality and inalienability; indivisibility; 
interdependence and inter-relatedness; equality and non-discrimination; participation and inclusion; 
and accountability and rule of law. These principles are part of the content of all human rights, 
including the human rights to water and sanitation. The Project team is using most of the actions 
identified in the theoretical framework to make Jacobabad Municipality a test case for the other such 
institutes of the country and the Province. 
We see the ability of the Municipality to conduct water quality testing as the biggest achievement 
of the project, which should be widely publicized. To the best of our knowledge not other local 
council is doing the regular testing and analysis. 
After the water testing, we see the adaptive and cyclic approach to the improvement in water supply 
which is responsive to the community grievances and demands, as a best practice. What project’s 
field engineers are doing as part of their duty is actually the classic text book approach for making 
a water supply work in a municipal council. 
Based on project activities we will now summarize the lessons learned and recommendations as 
follows; 
5. Lessons Learned / key learning 
Political Ownership: 
Water supply and sanitation services possess a number of characteristics that make the process of 
reform inherently political. Water has many social dimensions and is often regarded as a public 
good. At Jacobabad, the city cumulatively pays 60 million PKR per month to the informal water 
vendors, while the cost of supplying the water through the USAID built system in 25 million per 
month. As such, in the rural Municipal Councils of Sindh, where financing is scarce or 
unpredictable, the safest political course is to hold tariffs down to keep customer expectations low. 
For these reasons, local politicians, faced with financial constraints of short -term political 
objectives, tend to starve water utilities of funds to the extent they can, without being held 
18
Knowledge Management under Water Governance and Capacity Building - WG&CB Support - Jacobabad 
accountable. They appease community with promises of holding down tariffs and effectively block 
the road to reform. Political commitment to reforms is therefore important ingredient needed to 
initiate and sustain the proces. 
Private Sector VS Public Sector: 
Private sector participation has been viewed as the logical alternative for turning performance 
around in the water and sanitation sector. Due to the nature of the sector the water provision cannot 
be fully privatized. One such example is the North Sindh Urban Services Corporation. After a series 
of disappointments experienced over the last decade with purely private models, there is now the 
fear that the pendulum may be swinging the other way, and the public sector is again being looked 
to, to provide the quick-fix solution to the problems of water and sanitation. The reality is that there 
are no quick-fix solutions, and the sooner the focus is shifted toward fundamental reforms in the 
sector, the sooner real improvements will be achieved for either public or private models. The market 
is weak and fragmented in Jacobabad and working with Municipal Committee is the lowest hanging 
fruit in this case. 
Legal and official impediments for the Municipality: 
The Sindh Local Government ACT 2013 gives substantial financial and other authorities to the 
Municipal Councils. However there is substantial infringement on this authority by the Provincial 
authorities. A long term dialogue may be initiated with the Government to remove the bottlenecks 
and allow the Municipality to take its own financial and administrative decisions. 
Consumers should be involved in the decision-making: 
Customers / citizens of Jacobabad can play an effective role in supporting Municipal Committee 
Jacobabad. In our conversations with the citizens of Jacobabad, we found an extreme level of 
mistrust on the Municipal Committee. Various citizen fora are very active in Jacobabad like 
Citizen Forum, Shehri Ittehad. The public energy of these fora should be utilized for the public 
benefit. Citizens need to be organized and to create a power base that forces the rebalancing of 
powers and accountabilities toward their interests. For this reason, customer orientation is an 
19
Knowledge Management under Water Governance and Capacity Building - WG&CB Support - Jacobabad 
important indicator of a utility’s organizational maturity because it links financial sustainability with 
the notion that the utility is actually serving a customer base. 
5. Recommendations 
Based on the project activities and lessons learned during the implementation of the project, the 
biggest recommendation is to disseminate the information to the consumers about the working of a 
water utility and the constitutional mandate of the different organizations. We think that once the 
citizens are empowered by the knowledge and information, they find solutions to their problems. 
This is the most sustainable way to work with a local council. 
We also recommend that, in order to assess the impact of withdrawal of the project, a sudden pulling 
out of the activities may be tested temporarily. This will be helpful in gauging the status of the 
institutionalization of the actions undertaken by the Project till date.
