 Challenges and Gaps: Institutional Fragmentation
The fragmentation in the management and regulation of WSS services impedes the
implementation of long-term solutions and hinders the attainment of universal access targets.

Challenges and Gaps: Investment Requirements
▪ Based on the PWSSMP, an annual investment of PhP 146.86
Billion is required from 2019 to 2023 to meet the Philippine
Development Plan targets and about PhP 47.86 Billion annually
from 2024 to 2030 to meet the SDGs

▪ Average annual public spending on WSS from 2008 to 2012 is

around PhP 3.39 Billion outside Metro Manila while in areas
covered by MWSS, investments were at annual average of PhP
13.21 Billion.
 Challenges and Gaps: LGUs and WSPs

• Low WaSH Coverage - Currently, only 59% of the household in the country have
access to safely-managed water supply (level III) based on the Field Health Services
Information System (FHSIS) by DOH, August 2022.

• Fragmented institutional arrangement and lack of local policy - Majority

of the LGUs assigned the management of water utilities in various offices (such as
MEEDO, Local Engineering Office, Waterworks Office, etc) and also, lack of policy or
ordinance that regulates or monitors the provision of WaSH services

• Low capacity /Low performance of LGUs and Water Service

Providers - low capacity to plan, design, implement, operate and manage the WaSH
facilities and services
 Challenges and Gaps: LGUs and WSPs

• Weak capacity of LGUs in conducting Water Quality Surviellance

Monitoring to ensure that the quality of water provided by the various
WSPs comply with the DOH PNSDW.

• WASH not a priority of most LGUs. LGUs have more appetite to hard
infrastructure projects

• High Non-Revenue Water (NRW)- based on the conducted assessment

for LGU-Managed Water Utility, most of them did not meet the National
Standard of 24% which will redound to poor service delivery.

MASTER PLAN (MWSSMP)
The Muncipal Water Supply & Sanitation Master Plan
(MWSSMP) & its Importance in Water Governance

What is MWSSMP?
• A blueprint that defines the LGUs’
targets for water supply and
sanitation based on the Human
Rights-based principles.
What are the Objectives of the MWSSMP?

• It provides the LGUs’ direction towards increasing water

supply, sanitation and hygiene coverage supported by
investments.

• Serves as a tool for the LGUs in identifying

priority/target areas and potential interventions in
addressing the investment requirements as inputs to
planning and packaging water supply and sanitation
projects.
