| description |
Since 2016, the World Bank’s Water and
Governance Global Practices have been implementing the
Policy, Institutional and Regulatory (PIR) Incentives
Initiative to gain deeper insight into the dynamics between
water supply and sanitation (WSS) sector incentive
mechanisms. PIR is a global framework for understanding
factors that can contribute to positive sector outcomes at
the country level. This knowledge brief uses a PIR framework
to provide a snapshot of the experiences of five countries
in South America: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, and
Peru. The brief showcases the wide variety of incentives
created by governments to successfully motivate people (as
individuals or as part of an institution) to do their part
in an integrated PIR system and how a lack of such
integration may produce perverse incentives that prohibit
the achievement of sector goals. Governments looking to
strengthen the WSS sector should, therefore, take a holistic
approach to sector reform and one that seeks to align PIR
incentives through integrated interventions. This alignment
includes harmonization between sector objectives, rules of
the game, and mechanisms for implementation. Of critical
importance is the financial and human resource capacity of
sector institutions. Countries in South America need to move
beyond the technical solutions that enabled them to achieve
the MDGs and in the process carefully consider the drivers
for reform and the best fit for the prevailing institutional context. |
