Country profiles

Abstract

This chapter presents profiles of 13 LAC countries. They have a uniform layout, for ease of comparison. They are based on the responses collected in the framework of the OECD 2011 Survey on Water Governance. Each profile is divided into five sections, which provide: An “institutional mapping” of the allocation of roles and responsibilities in water policy design, regulation and implementation at central government level. An overview of co-ordination challenges and instruments across ministries and public agencies. An “institutional mapping” of the allocation of roles and responsibilities in water policy design, regulation and implementation at sub-national (local and regional) level. An overview of co-ordination challenges and instruments across levels of government and between local actors. An overview of remaining multi-level governance challenges, based on countries’ self-assessment in the OECD 2011 Survey on Water Governance.
