Abstract

El presente articulo detalla la problematica asociada a la provision de los servicios de abastecimiento y saneamiento en las zonas rurales de los paises en desarrollo. Se caracteriza la evolucion historia y la situacion actual en cada uno de estos servicios. Se explican y se analizan criticamente los criterios de medicion de acceso y las metodologias de intervencion principales. Las conclusiones ofrecen lineas de avance a incorporar en los modelos de provision de dichos servicios, teniendo en cuenta la consideracion del aqua y saneamiento como un derecho humano. EL concreto se revisa el denominado modelo de gestion comunitaria para el caso del abastecimiento de agua y se determinan sus debilidades en lo que atane a la universalifaf y equidad de las intervencioens, su sostenibilidad y la falta de participacion activa de las administracioness publicas de ambito local o regional. Por lo que se refiere a las intervenciones destinadas a la promocion del saneamiento, se pasa revista a las que actualmente estan vigentes, y concretamente las relacionadas con la concienciacion sobre la salud e higiene, el denominado marketing social, y, por ultimo, los destinados a incentivar la inversion en saneamiento. This paper analyses the management performance of rural communities for water supply and sanitation systems in developing countries, describing the historical trends and its current situation. Special attention is paid to the criteria considered to determine the effective access to both services, as well as to the principal implementation models actually used. Different solutions are proposed in order to incorporate in the the provision of both facilities the consideration of the human right to water and sanitation. Specifically, the community water management model is considered, identifying its weaknesses in relation to different human rights considerations such as universality, equity, sustainability, as well as the necessary participation of the public administrations, and specially from the intermediate level. With respect to the implementing models that aim the promotion of sanitation services, three alternatives are considered: linking health and hygiene, social marketing, and promotion of the financing of the sanitation services.
