National Forums for Drinking Water and Sanitation
The National Forums for Drinking Water and Sanitation were developed by the Honduran Water and Sanitation Network (Span. RAS-HON). They constitute the leading national event on drinking water and sanitation. The forums seek to promote the participation and dialogue among the different sectors and actors related to water management and sanitation. They are interested in influencing the establishment of goals, policies, and technological and management decisions at the highest level. By 2016, 11 national drinking water and sanitation forums had been carried out. They involved professionals, government officials, aid workers, political leaders, and representatives of civil society.
