Policies

The Green PES program has identified six sectors as priorities after a participatory and transparent analysis process, including the Water and Sanitation sector.
The session will discuss (i) the objectives of the Green PES for the water and sanitation sector in a circular economy perspective, (ii) the public policies to be put in place, (iii) the experiences capitalized in other countries and (iv) the investment opportunities to achieve the Green PES objectives for the sector.

Rural maldevelopment, rising climate problems, degradation of natural resources, water, food and socio-political insecurity... The 2020-2030 decade will be decisive (MDGs, climate action...). We need to change our way of thinking, we need to build differently.
Building differently means moving from not doing (neglecting the rural world) or "doing" (top-down, silo-based, technocratic actions and policies) to "doing with": with people, with nature and with territories.

Rural Transformation (RT), involves rising agricultural productivity,
increasing commercialization and marketable surpluses, and diversification of
production patterns and livelihoods. It also involves expanded decent off-farm
employment and entrepreneurial opportunities, better rural coverage and access to
services and infrastructure, and greater access to, and capacity to influence, relevant
policy processes.
