Regional component responsible for WS&S and IWRM in Latine America
The Initiative, which has the political support of the Member States and the European Commission, is based on the formulation of strategic associations between governments, civil society and other stakeholders. It is developed through Components of a Regional nature; one of which, headed by Spain, Mexico and Portugal, corresponds to the Latin American area.
This component adds two new general lines of work, other than Water and Sanitation and Integrated Water Resource Management (IWRM). One corresponding to the Prevention of Extreme Water-related Events and Mitigation of their Consequences and one on Sustainable Use of Water in Agriculture.
Other thematic areas are taken into account as horizontal elements for the development of these lines of work:
Integration of gender issues and those referring to the indigenous population.
Intraregional cooperation and technology transfer at that level
Education and availability of know-how for the public.
