Expanding technical cooperation among developing countries on water and sanitation

Implementation

This strategy features in the framework of Agenda 21 as formulated at UNCED (Rio de Janeiro, 1992), now coordinated by the United Nations Commission on Sustainable Development and implemented through national and local authorities. Agenda 21 indicates that such a course has proved cost-effective in many country projects already.

Claim

Technical cooperation among developing countries is crucial because of their available wealth of information and experience and the need to avoid "reinventing the wheel".
