| Popis: | The study was conducted to measure the technical efficiency of the water districts of the Province of Davao del Sur, which covers eight municipalities and a lone city. Of the nine possible DMUs, only three municipalities (Kiblawan, Hagonoy and Bansalan) and the lone city (Digos City) have operational water districts for the period; hence, a total of four DMUs were subjected for data envelopment analysis. Descriptive statistics were used to present the profile of the inputs (volume of water extracted in cubic meters, Maintenance and Other Operating Expenses, and number of field personnel) and outputs (number of household, government office and commercial establishment connections), while output-orientated constant returns-to-scale multi-stage DEA for the technical efficiency calculations. Results showed that on the viewpoint of technical efficiency, Digos Water District was identified as the best efficiency frontier based on the result of summary peer and peer count. This implies that Digos Water District may be viewed as the best model water district in terms of servicing the maximum number of households, government offices and commercial establishments served. |
