چکیده

The Water and Sanitation Program (WSP) is a multi-donor partnership administered by the World Bank to help the poor gain access to water supply and sanitation services that are accessible, safe, and sustainable. Th e fi ndings, interpretations, and conclusions expressed in this document are entirely those of the authors and should not be attributed to the World Bank, its affi liated organizations, or members of its Board of Executive Directors or the institutions they represent.

In Latin America, nearly half the population living in rural areas is without access to improved sanitation services and approximately 20 percent is still without drinking water.

Th is opportunity for contemplation was the international seminar " Challenges of Rural Water and Sanitation after a Decade, " also known as " Cusco+10.

We would like to give special recognition to the collaborative work of the World Bank Group teams who made this important expert exchange — as well as the present analytical document — a reality, in particular: Miguel Team Assistant. Th is work also received valuable support from the Water Partnership Program and the Swiss Agency for Development and Cooperation (SDC).
