Example text
The sanitation improvements have to be considered in the context of a fast economic growth combined with a fast population growth. The experiences in the region showed a wide variety in the modalities and methodologies for improving sanitation. Among these, advocacy and awareness creation in the form of sanitation and hygiene campaigns, particularly in rural areas, were most common. The most important national driver for institutional changes was found to be civil society mobilization, followed closely by community-based initiatives and political leadership.
There are increasing calls for adequate decentralization law, which should support budget distribution to local government authorities, as seen earlier. National Strategies Political leadership and commitment are key drivers for achieving institutional changes. Occasionally, however, the place of sanitation among national priorities can be jeopardized because of other political priorities and demands from other sectors. To avoid sidetrack, it is necessary to establish a “national strategy on sanitation”, or at least to incorporate sanitation in existing legal documents, for example the National Health Plan.
Most of the answers are evaluated per questionnaire (total of 15), 29 as they reflect personal experiences and views of the drafters. Note should be taken as some answers (Q2) are aggregated and analyzed per country (total of 13 countries have answered), as they relate to national practices/policies. 2: Countries that have undertaken institutional changes Type of reform Total Countries (Abbreviations provided) Coordination reform 45% BAN, CAM, LAO, NEP, SRI, TLS, THA, VAN, VIE Legal and planning reform 27% BAN, CAM, NEP, PNG, SRI, TLS Decentralization reform 18% BAN, INA, THA Financing reform 18% BAN, INA, THA, VIE Public awareness promotion 18% LAO, PLW, THA, VAN Technological reform 9% PHI, VIE Ongoing/Completed institutional changes The information provided by the completed questionnaires illustrates a general picture of achievements, particularly since 2003, in the institutional aspects related to sanitation.
