Sector wide approach for the funding of rural water
supply Coordination of financial flows at the
intermediate level, case study from Benin
Michiel Smet PROTOS-Benin
Presentation overview
Decentralisation has been initiated in 1999, and implemented in 2002
Transfer of human and financial resources have followed slowly
Due to slow application of roles and responsibilities: intermediate level administration has not gained authority to coordinate
financial flows municipalities have not been able to gain experience in implementation
and planning
Transfer of financial resources is a prerequisite for effective coordination
Simple financial reporting tools need to be developed and applied by all sector actors, including non-state actors
Civil society needs to be implicated in the coordination to assure good governance
Sector wide approach:towards attaining the MDG
Goal
Equitable supply of water for at least 67% of the rural population by 2015
Objectives
1. Increased access to water-points (76%)
2. Multiple use of water and IWRM (4%)
3. Reinforcement of water sector actors (3%)
4. Reinforcement of water sector other than drinking water (12%)
5. Improvement of national and provincial government services (4%)
(2010 budget allocation)
Sector wide approach:Objective oriented budgeting
Objective oriented budgeting (2002) based on the 5 sector objectives
State and international development cooperation funds apply objective oriented budgeting
Non-state actors do not apply objective oriented budgeting
Little information is available on financial flows of non-state actors within the sector
Decentralisation of rural water supply envisaged roles and responsibilities

Coordination structures
Coordination on intermediate level
Aggregation of information on intermediate level to monitor progress towards attaining MDGs
Documentation of experiences on municipal level in order to learn and inform national level and vice versa
Identification of municipal capacity shortcomings to reinforce institutional and technical capacities
Regulation and quality assurance
Implication of civil society in order to assure good governance and equity of service delivery
Coordination on municipal level
Participatory planning of development interventions
Coordination of sector actors and donors
Reporting of financial flows
Exchange of experiences among municipal actors and projects
Portal for water users federations to identify service delivery failures or shortcomings
Tools for an effective coordination
Strict application of roles proposed by the decentralisation process ✖
Application of simple financial reporting tools using the objective oriented budgeting system by all sector actors ✖
Participatory municipal sector planning to ensure coherent and transparent planning of implementation ✔
Implication of water users federations to ensure equity and good governance ✖
