To evaluate the sustainability of
services in the region, an overall sector assessment has
been done taking into account four main dimensions: access
to services, quality of services, efficiency of services,
and financing of services. Each of these dimensions is
measured through three simple and objective indicators. For
each indicator, best practice values are established by
looking at the best performers in the region, and the
countries closest to those best performers are deemed to
have a more mature sector. A more complete description of
the methodology to assess sector sustainability is included
in the annex of the state of the sector regional report from
the Danube Water Program. The outcomes of this assessment
for the Serbian water sector are presented, which also shows
average and best practices in the Danube region. The Serbian
sector sustainability score is 61, which is below the Danube
average sustainability of 64. The assessment shows that, on
average, the country performs well in terms of access to
piped water and flush toilets, nonrevenue water, and
affordability. The main deficiencies of the Serbian water
sector identified through the sector sustainability
assessment are the level of investment, wastewater treatment
coverage, and the operating cost ratio. The main sector
challenges are: strengthening and clarifying sector
governance; ensuring tariff setting according to the cost
recovery principle to improve overall performance in
preparation for EU accession; and enhancing water utility
staff capacity and training. |
