The MDGs and the human rights to water and sanitation 2010, para. 48
Paragraphe- Paragraph text
- Certain countries have made important strides towards introducing participation in the water and sanitation sectors at the national level. For example, Ghana's 2007 national water policy aims to ensure participation at the lowest appropriate level of society in water-related issues and calls for the acceleration of women's representation at all levels and in all spheres of water-related management. South Africa's legislative and policy framework is based explicitly on constitutionally protected human rights to water and sanitation, and the Department of Water Affairs and Forestry issued generic public participation guidelines for use by water service authorities to ensure adequate participation in service delivery. Nevertheless, the main challenge is to more fully translate laws and policies into practice.
