Urban Water Supply Sector Risk Assessment

The Guidance Note: Urban Water Supply Sector Risk Assessment is part of a series of guidance notes for priority sectors and subsectors of the Asian Development Bank (ADB). A joint knowledge product of ADB’s Governance and Water Communities of Practice, it offers a framework for mapping governance risks to inform the preparation of future country partnership strategies. Such a framework covers institutional aspects (policy, legal framework, and regulation); organizational aspects (planning, financial management, procurement, and human resources); and sector operations.

This guidance note also supplements ADB’s Guidelines for Implementing the Second Governance and Anticorruption Action Plan. The purpose of the Second Governance and Anticorruption Action Plan is to improve ADB’s performance in implementing the governance and anticorruption policies in the sectors and subsectors in which ADB is active, as well as to design and deliver better quality programs and projects.
