| Summary: | Using data from the International
Benchmarking Network for Water and Sanitation Utilities,
this paper on the water sector in pourashavas
(municipalities) in Bangladesh provides an analysis of the
trends in the water sector development over 2010–16. The
main purpose of the paper is to examine the average
performance of the water sector providers in the pourashavas
to encourage conversation on identifying and addressing
deficiencies in service performance in comparison with that
in the rest of Bangladesh and the world. This analysis finds
that although pourashavas perform on the lower end of the
spectrum compared with the rest of Bangladesh on many
indicators, the top 20 percent of the pourashavas are
globally competitive on indicators of staff productivity,
cost coverage, and daily per capita consumption of water. |
