REACHING UNREACHED URBAN POOR
3
POVERTY AS A CONCEPT
Amartya Sen’s capability approach:
o Inadequate command over economic resources (work generated income)
o Insufficient command over publicly provided goods and services (sanitation, housing, health, education, etc.)
o Inadequate command over or access to the formal or informal institutions supposed to support the individuals
o Poverty constitutes a denial of human rights.o (UN Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural
Rights, Statement on Poverty, 2001)
4
POVERTY AS A CONCEPT
o A human condition characterized by sustained or chronic deprivation of the resources, capabilities, choices, etc. necessary for the enjoyment of an adequate standard of living.
5
POVERTY REDUCTION STRATEGIES
o Universality and Indivisibilityo Equality and Non-Discriminationo Participation and Inclusiono Empowerment of Poor Peopleo Accountability and the Rule of Lawo Obligation of International Cooperation
6
THE ULTIMATE GOAL – OUTREACH THE URBAN POOR
o Sindh Cities Improvement Program (SCIP) intends to outreach the urban poor by:
o Enhancing quality, coverage, and reliability of water supply, wastewater, and SWM services
o Improving health and education outcomes by impacting on quality of life for 570,000 households in the participating towns.
o These factors brings economic competitiveness for these towns.
7
THE CORE OF REFORMS
o Delegated of management of water supply, wastewater, and SWM services from TMAs to professional management (USCs) under contractual agreements (SAMAs).
o Operationalize Utility Services Corporations (USCs) to deliver these services to specified coverage areas comprising of urban local council areas.
o SAMAs delegate management and infrastructure to USCs for provision of municipal services.
o SAMAs clearly define respective roles and responsibilities, service targets, and service charge levels.
8
THE CORE OF REFORMS
o USCs will be accountable to their respective
boards
o (which will include some TMA representatives) for
their performance as autonomous entities
o Investment Program support these actions and
arrangements in NSUSC and future USCs,
including to engage the necessary management
expertise.
9
PRINCIPLE OF CORPORATIZATION
In SCIP, corporate model is employed to introduce to capture the advantages of a market-oriented company that may harness efficiency, productivity, financial sustainability, and accountability in the area of urban services provision.
10
CORPORATE ENTITY
Primary theme of Sindh Cities Improvement Program (SCIP) is CORPORATIZATION of provision of public sector services by transforming public sector entities into commercially- oriented company under Companies Ordinance, 1984. It promises:
o Professional managemento Efficient administration and sound financial
management systemo Sound corporate governanceo Commitment to cost recovery
11
CORPORATE ENTITY
o Enhanced accountabilityo Greater customer focus by developing
commercial orientation and managerial independence
o Accountability to the government or electorate.
12
SCIP presents and maintains standard characteristics of:o Autonomy. NSUSC is
autonomous in its decision–making process under strategic guidance of Board of Directors and operational activities of the management.
o Incentives. A system of targets and incentives is designed to make it a goal-achieving entity.
o Accountability. Internal as well external control systems exerts accountability .

NSUSC MODEL - PRO POOR UTILITY
17
NORTH SINDH URBAN SERVICES CORPORATION
o NSUSC established under the Companies Ordinance 1984 initially comprised of six secondary cities of northern cluster (Sukkur, New Sukkur, Rohri, Khairpur, Shikarpur, and Larkana). of Sindh Province. Now Ghotki and Jacobabad have also been included in northern cluster.
o Instead of having different service delivery system at each TMA level, NSUSC now provides the municipal services of water supply, solid waste management and waste water management in the participating cites.
18
NORTH SINDH URBAN SERVICES CORPORATION
o NSUSC as a single service provider promises (i) economies of scale, (ii) introduce new skills and management, (iii) and increase focus on operations, maintenance and financial management.
WHAT SERVICES WE DELIVERY TO URBAN POOR?
19
Watero adequate Quantity – Enough Water to meet
1million people in North Sindh Cities including urban poor , improves hygiene conditions.
o More Coverage – Reaching unreached poor , balancing the equity and equality
o Better Quality – Safe to drink - Eliminate water related diseases among poor.
o Continuity – all time access to water a-basic right
CREATING WATER SOURCE QUANTITY COMES FIRST SUKKUR WATER INTAKE
PROJECT TO MEET 1MILLION PEOPLES’
WATER DEMAND TILL YEAR 2040
20
PROJECT BACKGROUND
o The existing main municipal water supply of Sukkur city and part of New Sukkur is provided through two conventional water treatment plants (WTPs) at Bunder Road WTP and Numaish Gah WTP.
o The source of raw water supply for these two plants is an intake pumping station(IPS) located on the right bank of the River Indus just across the road from the Bunder road WTP and at a distance of about 3 km from Numaish WTP.
o Sukkur and New Sukkur are suffering from Water Supply problems, particularly during periods when the gates of the Sukkur Barrage are opened for maintenance.
o Scarcity of drinking water thus is badly felt by general public and by the business community and prolong unavailability of water from River Indus during dry season invariably lead to very serious protests by the residents.
21
PROJECT BACKGROUND
o The Existing intake is not ideally located for several reasons:o It is located on the bank of the River Indus and may in extreme
conditions be subject to flooding.o It is located downstream of untreated waste water outfalls which
dispose of about one third of the total waste water flow of the city.o The raw water quality of River Indus is highly turbid throughout much of
the year which causes major problems and expenses in its treatment.
o At certain times of the year the level of River Indus falls to a point that river bed dries up completely at the location of existing intake pipes.
o There is a strong probability that in the near future the low water level of Indus will frequently fall below that of the intake pipes, which will result in failure of the municipal water supply. Pond Color indicates excessive
contamination (Period 14th to 19th Nov 2011)

MUNICIPAL SERVICES UNDER TMAs
TMA Problems
Prior to SCIP, defunct TMAs were responsible for provisioning and regulating of municipal services of water supply, water waste management, and solid waste management.
1. Water supply distribution other than integrated systems maintained by or on behalf of the City District;
2. Sewerage system other than an integrated system maintained by or on behalf of City District excluding sewerage treatment and disposal;
3. Solid waste collection and conveyance to transfer stations designated by the Town but excluding treatment and disposal of waste.
Lack of infrastructure and equipment to meet the demands of expanding population, poor and deteriorating asset condition and the lack of sufficient, qualified staff.
1. Disorganized service delivery system for the assigned services in the cluster.
2. Disintegrated water supply and waste water management responsibilities and authorities. Hence, no effective monitoring systems in place to determine quantity and quality of the services
3. Lack of planning in designing subprojects; no maps of existing infrastructure.
4. Data on service coverage for the urban populations outside Karachi is poor, but piped-water access is estimated at less than 50% and the piped water is frequently contaminated.
5. No sanitary landfills to dispose off solid waste.
6. Lack of coordination on infrastructure development between TMAs and provincial line departments such as Public Health Engineering Department
36
MUNICIPAL SERVICES UNDER SCIP
Sindh Cities Improvement Investment Program (SCIP) is ADB assisted US$ 400 million infrastructure and service delivery reform program which aims to improve water supply, wastewater management, and solid waste management (SWM) services in participating 20 secondary cities through establishment of government-owned , professionally managed Urban Services Corporations ; urban sector reforms and investment in water supply, wastewater and solid waste management infrastructure.
NSUSC aggregate participating TMA's Water supply, Waste Water and Solid Waste Management operation in a single institution to leverage economies of scale, introduce new skills and management, and increase focus on operations, maintenance and financial management.
Terms of Reference 1. Enhancing operational efficiency,
accountability, project planning(Master Planning, feasibility Studies, Sub-Project assessments, Mapping, Baseline surveys), management and implementation
2. Improving water supply and sewerage infrastructure and systems in the eight urban towns in North Sindh.
