Sectorial Board for Drinking Water and Sanitation
The Sectorial Board for Drinking Water and Sanitation is a space created to promote dialogue and negotiation between the Government and the civil society. Its main goal is to strengthen policies, national plans, and support the implementation of the Strategic Plan for the Modernization of the Water and Sanitation Sector (Span. PEMAPS) through a sectorial approach. The boards are composed by representatives of the Government, of the community that supports the boards, and of the civil society. The latter participates in the Sectorial Board in order to know the progress and difficulties of the process, to follow up on the national agreements and to make proposals for greater compliance. The sectorial round tables were established in the framework of the Principles of the Stockholm Agreement that arose during the second meeting of the Consultative Group for the Reconstruction of Central America in May 1999. By 2016, the Sectorial Board for Drinking Water and Sanitation had become a fundamental axis for the development of that sector in Honduras. Under the tutelage of the board, the Strategic Plan for the Modernization of the Water and Sanitation Sector (PEMAPS) was deliberated and promoted.
