| Description: | Expression of Interest: Consultant for Water sector specialist The carec institute (ci) and asian development bank (adb) are engaging the services of international consultant (individual), with expertise and experience in water sector, water resources management, water sector financing. In 2022, the carec institute conducted a research project on the theme water infrastructure in central asia: promoting sustainable financing and private capital participation . The research helped to highlight sector-based, ill coordinated planning and investment in central asian countries in the water sector will not provide alternative solutions on infrastructure financing. Rather economic frameworks that promote cooperation and integrated planning among sectors could be a solution. The approach should help to leverage possible synergies for decreasing costs, assessing trade-offs, demand-side interventions, and decentralized services to ensure sustainability of infrastructure. In this context, the state could play a role of social regulator, ensuring that each water user receives a fair share of water resources. Privatization, concessions, or any other private engagement in the water sector is not common in central asian countries. Both ownership and investment in the water sector by private players have rarely been observed in the region. This is impeded mainly by high level of regulatory and unclear ownership of water infrastructure, unclear and weak water governance system. Although water agencies operate and maintain the water infrastructure, ownership rights are not clearly defined. In some cases, ownership is with municipality, in other cases, infrastructure belongs to different line ministries or agencies (e. G. , energy, water supply, so forth). This also makes challenging to trace the sources of financing streams. The service fees charged by state water organizations are not fully collected, water users are reluctant to pay for unreliable water supply. However, lately household water supply fee collection has been improved. This is due to better metering and infrastructure improvements in this area. In irrigation water supply, service fee collection rights are still far below to be sensible part of at least o&m costs. The countries are trying to increase service collection rates, by introducing water metering (uzbekistan), giving more role to user organizations (kyrgyzstan) and management organizations (tajikistan) a right to keep part of the fees and more of commercial model of water supply (kazakhstan). None of these schemes alone can help to solve water financing problems in the water sector. Hence, by identifying water financing governance gaps in each country of focus, the project will shape priority actions that will facilitate the provision of right finance to the right infrastructure.
