Possible Objectives of Decentralization
Improve service deliveryStrengthen local governmentImprove health and the
environment
![Page 6: Decentralization of Water Supply and Sanitation Services in Latin America Role of USAID Morris Israel Fred Rosensweig.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022072009/56649d8e5503460f94a76cf9/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Context
Decentralization of WS&S is not separate from the overall reform of the State
Reform of the WS&S sector is underway throughout the region
Different philosophies on sector reform exist within countries and among donors
![Page 7: Decentralization of Water Supply and Sanitation Services in Latin America Role of USAID Morris Israel Fred Rosensweig.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022072009/56649d8e5503460f94a76cf9/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Increased attention to water and environment issues
Inadequate attention is being paid to effect of reform on the less advantaged populations – rural areas, small towns, and peri-urban areas.
Increasingly municipalities are asked to assume responsibility for service delivery

Problem
Small and medium size towns (5,000-30,000) have been largely neglected
Infrastructure is inadequate and funds don’t exist to finance new investment or adequate O&M.
Inadequate institutional structure to provide support to rural communities.
Represents a significant percentage of the population.
![Page 10: Decentralization of Water Supply and Sanitation Services in Latin America Role of USAID Morris Israel Fred Rosensweig.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022072009/56649d8e5503460f94a76cf9/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Small towns and rural communities have fewer resources and less capability.
Sanitation is almost completely neglected.
Most countries lack an effective regulatory framework
Central governments do not adequately involve key stakeholders in the discussion.

USAID Regional Activity
Developed case studies around three themes:
Management models for small town
San Julian, El Salvador
Itagua, Paraguay
Marinilla, Colombia

Institutional arrangements for providing backup support to rural communities
TOM Program, Honduras
Municipal Promoter, Nicaragua
Regulation of municipal services

Findings
Overall Findings Reinforced key lessons learned over
the past 20 years Importance of autonomy Role of legal and regulatory reform Role of external assistance in
technical assistance and financing Sanitation lags behind water supply Health and environment largely
secondary concerns

and support for decentralization

Institutional arrangements for RWSS
Cost of programmatic infrastructure
Need for a clearly defined system
Presence of a capable institution with clear responsibility
Role of local government

Overall observations
Decentralization is a slow process and not a panacea for all problems
Success of decentralization is context and situation specific
Key issue is who is involved and how decisions about decentralization are made

The Future
Track experimentation that is going on
Impact of paying more attention to sanitation
Innovative solutions to lack of financing for capital investments
Ways to address health and environment concerns
