Integral water and sanitation management for peacebuilding in rural areas ASIR-SABA Colombia

Projet terminé

Many countries transitioning to a higher economic status still struggle on the Water and Sanitation component. In such countries where water supply or sanitation have been installed aggregate outcomes tends to mask that the quality of services is poor, that inequalities are increasing and improvements in access do often not reach those groups who suffer most. New models of intervention and financing strategy are required for such countries where the majority of poor population is concentrated. Through this new initiative By finalizing a unique scaling-up process in Peru and replicating it in post conflicts areas of Colombia SDC will also enrich the global debate on the fulfillment of the SDGs and the gradual exercise of human right to water with a new model of intervention and financing strategy.
