Pleased to speak.
I will: give you a sense of why water matters to the USG; some of the challenges in addressing international water and sanitation issues; and outline the strategy the USG is implementing to bring water and sanitation to developing countries.
Many of the countries where agriculture is dominant are also water scarce
Reiterate WASH: water, sanitation, hygiene all work together
Need local participation and ownership to ensure sustainability.
Need measurable results.
Need to leverage what the USG can offer to get more bang for the buck and to scale-up.
Building Capacity of Small-scale Service Providers
Strengthening Water and Sanitation Utilities
Mobilizing Domestic Capital for Infrastructure Development
Improving Household and Community-level Hygiene and Sanitation
Exploiting Synergies Between Disaster Relief Efforts and Water and Sanitation Projects
USAID has responded aggressively to these challenges, making water supply and sanitation projects the highest funded category of water-related activities at the Agency.
