Contesto
  • Water supply and sanitation is on the agenda of the Central American States. Good progress has been made in reaching the MDGs, however a certain slow-down is noticeable.
  • All Central American countries have a relatively high external vulnerability due to climate change and limited economic resources to maintain and expand the coverage of water and sanitation services.
  • The regional high-level forum in water and sanitation (FOCARD-APS) is being supported and funded by the member states. FOCARD-APS plays a key role in: the regional cooperation among the member states; the regional policy development; and in knowledge management.
