The overall objective of SIRWAS (Sustainable and Innovative Rural Water and Sanitation services) is to contribute to closing the gaps in coverage and quality of rural Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) services, which are socially acceptable, affordable and sustainable, thus contributing to fostering the necessary capacities and creating and enabling environment to make changes over time. The intervention will use a three-pronged approach of: 1) policy influencing, 2) innovation and 3) knowledge management with a strong focus on leveraging partnerships. The geographical intervention of SIRWAS is foreseen based on the presence of rural populations without or suffering from poor access to WASH services and the political will of the governments to close the gaps, in the perspective of "Leave no one behind". Activities will be executed at regional level, with emphasis in four Latin American countries (Peru, Bolivia, Brazil and Haiti).
ACCOUNTABILITY MECHANISM OF IADB
The Independent Consultation and Investigation Mechanism (MICI) is the independent complaint mechanism and fact-finding body for people who have been or are likely to be adversely affected by an Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) or Inter-American Investment Corporation (IIC)-funded project. If you submit a complaint to MICI, they may assist you in addressing the problems you raised through a dispute-resolution process with those implementing the project and/or through an investigation to assess whether the IDB or IIC is following its own policies for preventing or mitigating harm to people or the environment. You can submit a complaint by sending an email to MICI@iadb.org. You can learn more about the MICI and how to file a complaint at http://www.iadb.org/en/mici/mici,1752.html (in English) or http://www.iadb.org/es/mici/mici,1752.html (Spanish).
