摘要

The purpose of this report is to present the outcomes of two workshops recently held on the topic of improving sanitation services in small towns in Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) and to discuss the key issues that need to be addressed to make progress in this often neglected area. The workshops provided a unique opportunity to discuss the issue of small town sanitation with participants from 12 countries, representing national and local governmental and non-governmental institutions, and the donor community. This report captures the insights gained in the course of conducting the two workshops. Before discussing the actual workshops, some background is presented in Section 1 on the challenges of providing sustainable sanitation services to small towns.
