Coordination
To make optimum use of the available resources (funding, manpower, equipment) it is essential that (ongoing and future) activities by government, donors and investors, towards the improvements of performance of PDAMs, are well coordinated.

Demonstration
Demonstration of 'best practices' in the different fields of water supply services is crucial to convince PDAM managers and owners (mayors) that it is possible to improve the performance by changing their approach, organization, legal entity, technology, and human resources policies.

Promotion
PERPAMSI has an obligation to its members to promote professional business principles in the operation of a PDAM. This will be centered around the key principles of 'Full Cost Recovery' and the provision of Drinking Water. Promotion also means to provide information on the potential for investment in PDAM activities by local/foreign investors, with feasibility studies and tender procedures. Investors can stay informed through our partnerships with other water supply associations worldwide.

Motivation
A PDAM can only reach its ultimate aim of providing a sustainable service to its customers, if all employees are motivated to do the tasks set for them and fully participate in the Company operation.
