The international benchmarking network for water and sanitation utilities (IBNET) has been involved in water and sanitation sector monitoring since 1997. It collects data on utilities performance and has set a global standard for performance assessment. The blue book sector assessment is based on intensive analysis and data collection for the period from 2006 to 2011. IBNET data come from a variety of sources, some of which have excellent quality assurance procedures (as in the case of regulatory data) and others of which follow less-sound procedures. IBNET continually improves its data-checking procedures and makes users aware of the quality (or lack of quality) of particular data. IBNET tools, such as data collection instruments and protocols, IBNET database, and IBNET tariff database, enable enhanced sharing of information from more than 4,000 utilities from over 130 countries and territories. The IBNET blue book summarizes water sector development in 2006 to 2011, describing trends and monitoring effects of recent crises. Despite difficulties, municipal water performance has improved and withstood accelerated urbanization and the impacts of the triple crisis (fuel, food, and finance). IBNET data confirmed that coverage with water services increased and water became accessible to more people. The blue book also provides improved approaches in building comprehensive indices for water utilities performance assessment, as well as a statistical annex providing a comprehensive look at recent water performance of more than 80 countries. The report is organized as follows: chapter one discusses various aspects of sector performance from the viewpoint of each key performance parameter; and chapter two discusses how to define and measure a good utility.
