Stakeholders

Table 1 illustrates the diversity of stakeholders in the urban water supply sector at various levels. Examining the formal and informal power relationships between stakeholders can help determine where risks to sector performance lie. For example, political or vested interests may influence decision makers to favor sector investments that focus on large infrastructure (e.g., bulk water supply versus improving networks) because it provides opportunities for personal enrichment not afforded by smaller alternatives. Financial resource allocation may be politically influenced and may not be aligned with sector plans. Appointments to the water utility boards or senior management may be tainted by conflict of interest. Senior managers of the utilities may assign lucrative postings to compliant employees with the expectation of getting a share of their illegal earnings (from kickbacks by suppliers who are awarded procurement contracts, bribes from customers for speedy water connections and repairs, and bribes for concealing illegal connections). Contractors may bribe engineers and administrators to conceal substandard construction.
