The overall objective of the Conference was to provide an adequate framework for discussion with key stakeholders on mechanisms, options and factors that would increase investments and coverage (in accordance with the Millennium Development Goals - MDGs) in the water and sanitation sector in Latin America and the Caribbean. The Conference helped to raise the awareness of central and local governmental authorities of the substantial investments required to reach the MDGs in potable water and sanitation as well as to identify the major obstacles that have hindered investments in the sector and that could jeopardize compliance with the MDGs in the coming years. The discussion of solutions that will enable countries in the region to increase service coverage while maintaining adequate fiscal discipline was part of the objectives of this event.
