With the achievement of peace in Angola in 2002, the government had the possibility to guide the actions to improve the quality of life through the implementation of a multi-faceted and comprehensive program of public investments, including major investments on the water supply infrastructure. Given the recent strong economic growth as well as increasing income from extractive industries, the international community reduced is finance, and technical assistance, to support the facilities and infrastructure, the authorities are doing, specially in the water sector, what is now the most challenge for the future.

9. OPTIONS
FOR
THE
FUTURE
1. Develop
a

framework
allowing
and
outlining
O&M
services
of
complex
systems.
2. Create
capacity
building
programs,
to
support

training
and
O&M
support
to
simple
water
systems,
ensuring
sustainability
through
community
management;
3. Gradually
sensi<ze
the
popula<on
to
the
issue
of
water
tariffs
and
the
rela<onship
with
sustainable
systems;
4. Establish
a
comprehensive
model
for
the
management
of
the
small
systems,
specially
in
the
rural
areas:
1. Remain
it
in
the
public
sector
or,
2. Transfer
it
to
the
private
sector.
5. The
main
objec<ve
is
to
guarantee
the
con<nuing
opera<on
of
