Experts from various fields of the water and sanitation sector
The Advisory Board is composed of experts from various fields in the water and sanitation sector: non-governmental organisations and foundations; water and sanitation operators and managers; business organisations and specialised companies; universities and experts in the field from various backgrounds.
In 2021, the Advisory Board’s working group met to review the progress of the programmes and to study the proposals presented by the FCAS Department. At the meeting, three new technical cooperations were presented to be included in the Action Plan of the work carried out by the FECASALC (Spanish Cooperation Fund for Water and Sanitation, managed by the IADB for the implementation of bilateral programmes), cooperations that would be carried out with funds already allocated by the IADB, not being new contributions
On the other hand, an additional initiative to incorporate a “component of reinforcement measures to ensure the sustainability of the actions” was discussed, a proposal that was very positively valued by the group and that will allow the funding of possible specific actions to influence aspects of improvement in the programmes already carried out that can be identified thanks to the final and “expost” evaluations (a few years after the programme has ended).
