Performance Evaluation of Urban Water Supply in Tanzania: The Case of Dar Es Salaam City
Despite its importance, performance evaluation of urban water supplies in the developing countries is very inadequately dealt with in the economic literature. This paper is an attempt to draw attention to this topic. We analyse the equity and efficiency aspects of performance evaluation of urban water supplies in the city of Dar Es Salaam in Tanzania in terms of between and within the three administrative districts in the city, and the five Dar Es Salaam Water and Sewerage Authority (DAWASA) branches and wards. The results show a very serious water supply problem for the city. Currently, water is unevenly distributed at all levels and it is expected that inequality between and within districts will increase over time.
