Water and Sanitation Services : Achieving Sustainable Outcomes with Indigenous Peoples in Latin America and the Caribbean
Indigenous peoples in Latin American and the Caribbean (LAC) are 10 to 25 percent less likely to have access to piped water and 26 percent less likely to have access to improved sanitation solutions than the region’s non-indigenous population. Hist...

| description |
Indigenous peoples in Latin American and
the Caribbean (LAC) are 10 to 25 percent less likely to have
access to piped water and 26 percent less likely to have
access to improved sanitation solutions than the region’s
non-indigenous population. Historically, Indigenous peoples
have been marginalized from the development process in their
own countries and still suffer discrimination from the
mainstream societies today. Oftentimes, Indigenous
territories are overlooked or avoided by Water Supply and
Sanitation (WSS) project planners and proponents given their
lack of understanding of how to engage or carry out projects
in collective or semi-autonomous Indigenous territories, the
remoteness of these areas, and the high associated per
capita cost of a potential operation, among other reasons.
The significant gap in Indigenous peoples’ access to WSS
services, a basic human right that is closely linked to
economic and social wellbeing, alongside the lack of
established tools in the sector to guide engagement in
Indigenous territories, motivated the creation of this
Toolkit. The objective of the Toolkit is to provide
practical guidance and operational tools to improve the
inclusion of, engagement with, and delivery of sustainable
WSS services to Indigenous peoples in LAC in order to
permanently close the WSS service gap. The Toolkit
summarizes the findings of interviews, consultations, and
field visits carried out by a multi-sector, multi-national
World Bank Team in 37 Indigenous communities located in
urban, peri-urban and rural areas in seven LAC countries
where the World Bank or other development actors had
implemented WSS projects with Indigenous peoples. |
