MAJOR ACHIEVEMENTS
1. ADVOCACY, INSTITUTIONAL ARTICULATION
SUPPORT TO THE MVCT IN THE IMPLEMENTATION OF PUBLIC POLICY IN RURAL WATER & SANITATION
To this end, the Embassy of Switzerland in Colombia - Humanitarian Aid and Development (SDC) signed an agreement with the Ministry of Housing, City and Territory, which established as its objective "to join forces and establish joint cooperation mechanisms for the implementation of water supply and basic sanitation policy in rural areas of Colombia, in the territories targeted by common agreement between the parties" ...
In this sense, the ASIR SABA project is supported by the review and feedback of regulations for the sector and support for their dissemination, especially in relation to management plans, rural SARs, the tariff framework and the protocol for differential water quality monitoring for rural areas, as well as the creation of SIASAR and support for the implementation of risk management in the water and sanitation sector in rural areas.
MUNICIPAL TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE AREAS - ATM 3 CREATED AND 4 IN THE PROCESS OF FORMATION
The ASIR SABA project has supported the implementation of the MTA in seven (7) municipalities, of which three (3) are already directly contracted by the municipalities (Caloto and Santander de Quilichao in the Department of Cauca and Buga in the Department of Valle del Cauca), one (1) more ...
in the process of being contracted by the Trujillo territorial entity in Valle del Cauca, all of these initially contracted by the ASIR SABA project and three (3) more with current financial support from the project in Buenaventura in Valle del Cauca, Corinto in Cauca and Tumaco in Nariño.
TRANSFER OF ASIR SABA METHODOLOGY TO THE PDA IN VALLE DEL CAUCA
Due to the success of the water and sanitation public policy implementation processes at the local level in Phase I of the project, the Valle del Cauca PDA requested to share the methodology, tools and technical documents, ...
in order to carry out replications in the municipalities of the department linked to it, in order to improve the conditions of the rural water and sanitation sector in the department.
SUPPORT IN COLOMBIA'S ADHESION TO SIASAR AND INFORMATION GATHERING HE VALLEY OF THE CAUCA.
In Phase I of the project, Colombia joined the SIASAR - Rural Water and Sanitation Information System, which is a joint initiative initiated by the governments of Honduras, Nicaragua and Panama whose strategic objective is to have a tool for basic, updated and contrasted information on the rural water supply and sanitation services existing in a country ...
The SIASAR system is open and ready for application in more countries with a rural water and sanitation context similar to that of the initial SIASAR countries (low levels of coverage, limited self-sustainability, little information, etc.).
In addition, the project is currently collecting information in three (3) strategic areas of the departments of Cauca, Nariño and La Guajira, with previous training processes carried out by the Ministry of Housing, City and Territory.
