ASTEE actively contributes to the preparation of the 6th world water forum scheduled to be held from 12 to 17 October 2012 in Marseille.
This year exceptionally, this held us, in partnership with IWA and OECD, to have a special event in Bordeaux which will be the opportunity at national and international level to address burning issues, especially on the performance of water and sanitation utilities.
Indeed ASTEE has been committed by the International Forum Committee to lead the forum’s preparation process on this critical issue. More than talks, even ambitious investments, only joint efforts in operation, maintenance, assets management, step by step efficiency improvements and consumers and citizen participatory processes will ensure a sustainable, fair, eco-aware and at an acceptable price service.
French and international solutions in this field have to be highlighted, in a wide range of governance systems and organisations. Discussions in Bordeaux are based on the clear setting apart of complementary responsibilities (public services’ operators, whether public or private, local authorities, national regulators) and implementation of the best tools to clarify their relationships. Introducing and establishing adequate indicators systems in order to organize performance monitoring, creating ational servatories of this performance and other regulatory tools, reinforcing research and its platforms, stimulating innovation and improving local authorities’skills, coordinating efforts at different territorial level’s organisation could definitively be the premises of a large movement of progress.
