| Summary: | In order to evaluate and reflect the
sustainability of services in the region, an overall sector
sustainability assessment has been established taking into
account four main dimensions: access to services, quality of
services, efficiency of services, and financing of services.
Each of these dimensions is measured through three simple
and objective indicators. For each indicator, best practice
values are established by looking at the best performers in
the region, and countries closest to those best performers
are deemed to have a more mature sector. A more complete
description of the methodology to assess the sector
sustainability is included in the Annex of the State of the
Sector Regional Report from the Danube Water Program. The
outcomes of this assessment for the Montenegro water sector
are displayed, which also shows average and best practices
in the Danube region. As a result, the Montenegro sector
sustainability score is 59, which is below the Danube
average sustainability of 64, and is among the lower scores
in the region. The assessment shows that, on average, the
country performs well in terms of access to piped water and
flush toilet, continuity of service and affordability. The
main deficiencies of Montenegro’s water sector identified
through the sector sustainability assessment are the
operating cost ratio, staffing level, and wastewater
treatment coverage. |
