Performance Enhancement for Water Utilities in Kenya (PEWAK)

Performance Enhancement for Water utilities in Kenya (PEWAK) is a five year project (2015-2019) funded by the Netherlands Sustainable Water Fund (FDW), aimed at improving performance of Water Service Providers (WSPs) in the Kenyan water sector through benchmarking, collective learning and innovative financing.

The project is currently in its fourth year of implementation.

As part of the consortium, SNV continues to support Water Service Providers Association (WASPA) in ensuring that the utility led benchmarking programme is anchored in the Kenyan water sector.

Working with 10 WSPs, we aim to increase efficiency levels by implementing the caretaker approach hence achieve reduction of non-revenue water to below 25%.

SNV and its partners continue to support WSPs in ensuring improved consumer engagement through implementation of tailored approaches.

Ultimately we anticipate improved performance through partnerships with the private sector in addition to adoption of technology aimed at reduction of non-revenue water.

The project also focuses on increasing access to water in low income areas working together with pro-poor units established at the water companies.
