Preparation to implementation
Currently GoAL WaSH is moving from supporting the elaboration of policy
documents towards supporting the implementation of agreed policy
frameworks.
This includes support to decentralization, tariff setting methodologies,
supporting the regulatory functions, and capacity development at the
