david schaub-jones - new ict tools in the african wash sector, may 24, 2013
DESCRIPTION
David presented several innovative technologies using simple low-cost cell phones. However he warns of the dangers of only focusing on the new technology and not paying sufficient attention to what the data gets used for, how the provision of data can actually change the dynamics of the supply of services, how reliable the data is and who will continue to provide it once once the novelty value of the technology has worn off.TRANSCRIPT

Too often the tools & the ability to collect data in a different way is the focus
Not sufficient attention to:1. what the data gets used for
2. how the provision of data can actually change the dynamics of the situation
3. how reliable the data is
4. who will continue to provide it once novelty value has worn off.

- additional- better or - faster information
(and get it to where it is needed)

Before asking
What system?
come a range of other questions that people making decisions about using ICT need to ask

How ICT offerings can address a range of challenges facing water utilities
Driver of poor performance Current situation in urban Africa
Potential ICT offerings
Mobile payments
SMS billing info
SMS operational info
Mobile meter reading app
Poor services • 19 hours of supply per day• One in eight samples pass chlorine test• Standpipe prices marked-up by factor of 3 to 4
Customer dissatisfaction
• 78 complaints per 1000 customers• 46% of people think water services are handled ‘very badly’
or ‘fairly badly’
Low revenue collection
• Under-collection of bills costs US$500m a year• Collection ratio of 80%• Half of utilities have collection ratios below 50%
Weak finances• Half of African utilities fail to recover operating costs
Deterioration of assets
• 35% of water lost, at a cost of US$400m a year• Between 1 and 5 pipe bursts per km per year• One in five public standpipes are non-functional
