Water Benchmarking Basics and Examples of Best Practices

Course Description
In addition, the programmatic link between benchmarking and water regulation is being strengthened in many countries around the world. The purpose of this webinar was (1) to reinforce the fundamentals of best practice water benchmarking and performance assessment and (2) to illustrate two examples of mature, successful water benchmarking programmes – one at the national level and one at the international level.
The webinar was organised by the IWA Benchmarking and Performance Assessment Specialist Group (IWA BPA SG). The BPA SG serves as a global platform for measuring, benchmarking and enhancing water sector service performance through conferences, newsletters, webinars, discussions and information exchange related to best practices and experiences of implementation of benchmarking and performance assessment programmes.
