Results based financing for Rural Water and Sanitation Sustainable Services Program

implementation

This technical cooperation (TC) seeks to enhance sustainable access to water and sanitation (W&S) services in rural communities across Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC). The specific objectives of the TC are: (i) improve water supply and sanitation infrastructure, quality, continuity and performance measurement in rural communities; (ii) develop innovative models to strengthen the community boards' capacities, and pilot innovative instruments to improve the financial and operational management and appropriation of the systems, such as results-based operational contracts; and (iii) strengthening the W&S governance for the rural sector by developing frameworks, tools, policy and regulatory proposals, enabling the adoption of innovative schemes to incentivize and measure the quality of services provided by rural operators, fostering the integration of these interventions into national and subnational rural programs.
