Esto se debe en gran medida al compromiso constante y decidido de la Agencia Suiza para el Desarrollo y la Cooperación COSUDE de la Embajada Suiza, porque la gestión del agua y saneamiento rural de manera descentralizada, en un inicio (hace 2 décadas), solo era imaginado como proyecto piloto; sin embargo la búsqueda de la tan ansiada sostenibilidad llevó a crear y ser parte de una red de actores (de alcance nacional, regional y local) más compleja, que ha permitido que actualmente tales actores se hayan apropiado del enfoque SABA.

SABA+ IEP Informe Final
El Proyecto de Saneamiento Básico Rural SABA de la Agencia Suiza para el Desarrollo y la Cooperación COSUDE, a lo largo de 20 años ha validado un enfoque de intervención en el sector agua y saneamiento del ámbito rural en el Perú. Una característica transversal y central del enfoque SABA, a través de su larga trayectoria, ha sido el trabajo con las contrapartes nacionales, específicamente con el sector público, en sus tres niveles de gobierno y específicamente con los Ministerios y Programas involucrados en el sector agua y saneamiento, cuya principal responsabilidad es el acceso a servicios básicos y por lo tanto tiene la desafiante labor de que trabajan disminuyendo disminuir la brecha, así como la mejora en la calidad del servicio en el ámbito rural.
A partir del 2012, el Ministerio de Vivienda Construcción y Saneamiento (MVCS), ente rector del agua y saneamiento a nivel nacional, puso en el centro de sus prioridades: “el Crecimiento con Inclusión” y bajo esta frase resaltó la agenda rural y por lo tanto la prioridad de buena parte de sus políticas y programas.

Evaluation Report of Community Led Sanitation in Odisha
There is a direct relationship between water, sanitation and health. Inadequate water and sanitation infrastructure and unhygienic practices facilitate the transmission of pathogens that cause diarrhoea, which accounts for 2 million child deaths annually in the world, about half of them in India. Globally 1.1 billion people, including an estimated 638 million in India alone, practice open defecation (OD). This is inextricably linked to the very low availability and use of toilets. In India, the 2011 census indicated that less than half (46.9%) of households (HH) have latrines within their premises. Disappointing results from incentive driven government schemes for toilet construction and increased political commitment to sanitation led the Government of India (GoI) to elevate achievement of Open Defecation Free (ODF) status to a national mission in 2014. India aims to achieve ODF status by 2019 through a mix of strategies that include financial incentives for HH toilet construction, recognition and rewards for villages that become ODF, and community led initiatives to mobilise behaviour change. Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) is one such community empowerment approach. CLTS seeks to raise awareness of the faecal-oral contamination route, by capitalising on human emotions of disgust and shame to bring about community-wide change in defecation practices, with the ultimate goal of triggering entire villages to become ODF.

Enhancing Safe Water Supply and Solid Waste Management for the Vulnerable population affected by the Syria crisis in south Lebanon
For the water component, CARE International in Lebanon developed with good coordination mechanisms and collaboration with the different stakeholders, particularly South Lebanon Water Establishment and the municipalities. This great collaboration was very fruitful to identify the project objectives and the priority interventions on the water supply infrastructure. Both SLWE and the municipalities have positively received the collaboration and have shared available plans and data and have taken an active role in designing and selecting the interventions type and intervention areas. CARE met with the SLWE authorities to identify the most needed interventions in terms of access to water. The priorities shared by SLWE were discussed at WASH Sector level first in order to prevent overlapping among implementing agencies or intervention gaps. The municipal representatives were consulted to ensure alignment of municipal plans with SLWE’s plans. CARE WASH specialists examined the proposed options and discussed them with SLWE and with the municipalities in order to guarantee the impartiality of the selection, cost-effectiveness, and relevance to the mandate of the organisation. During the period of the enginnering design preparation done with Kredo Engineering, a change of the lines to be rehabilitated was raised compared to what was planned in the initial proposal and new targeted areas have been identified by SLWE in coordination with CARE WASH team to be included in the design package (see more details in R1).
