Water supply and sanitation in Bolivia

La cobertura de agua potable y saneamiento en Bolivia aumentó considerablemente desde 1990 con altas inversiones en el sector. Sin embargo, las coberturas siguen siendo las más bajas del continente y la calidad de servicio se encuentra en una de las más bajas. La inestabilidad política e institucional ha contribuido a la debilitación de las instituciones del sector a nivel nacional y de muchas instituciones locales. Dos concesiones a empresas privadas extranjeras en dos de las tres ciudades más grandes: Cochabamba y La Paz - fallaron en 2000 y 2006 respectivamente. La segunda ciudad del país, Santa Cruz de la Sierra, gestiona su sistema de saneamiento a través de una cooperativa, con éxito relativo a los sistemas urbanos de las dos otras grandes ciudades del país.

Bolivia's drinking water and sanitation coverage has greatly improved since 1990 due to a considerable increase in sectoral investment. However, the country continues to suffer from what happens to be the continent's lowest coverage levels and from low quality of services. Political and institutional instability have contributed to the weakening of the sector's institutions at the national and local levels. Two concessions to foreign private companies in two of the three largest cities—Cochabamba and La Paz/El Alto—were prematurely ended in 2000 and 2006 respectively. The country's second largest city, Santa Cruz de la Sierra, relatively successfully manages its own water and sanitation system by way of cooperatives. The government of Evo Morales intends to strengthen citizen participation

The country's second largest city, Santa Cruz de la Sierra, relatively successfully manages its own water and sanitation system by way of cooperatives. The government of Evo Morales intends to strengthen citizen participation within the sector. Increasing coverage requires a substantial increase of investment financing. According to the government the main problems in the sector are low access to sanitation throughout the country; low access to water in rural areas; insufficient and ineffective investments; a low visibility of community service providers; a lack of respect of indigenous customs; "technical and institutional difficulties in the design and implementation of projects"; a lack of capacity to operate and maintain infrastructure; an institutional framework that is "not consistent with the political change in the country"; "ambiguities in the social participation schemes"; a reduction in the quantity and quality of water due to climate change; pollution and a lack of integrated water resources management; and the lack of policies and programs for the reuse of wastewater.
