The Philippine Portal for the Water Supply and Sanitation Sector informs national and local government leaders, civil society, business sector, donor community and the public about the water supply and sanitation (WATSAN) situation in the Philippines, and empowers them to use that information to collaborate and advance the well being of men and women of this generation and the next.
More than just a repository of data and information, it is also a dynamic tool for monitoring the country’s progress vis-à-vis the 2004-2010 Medium Term Philippine Development Plan (MTPDP) and the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) currently being pursued under the Philippine Water Supply Sector Roadmap (PWSS Roadmap).
Specifically, the portal aids in effective planning and policy decision-making through the sharing of knowledge and best practices relevant to the implementation of water and sanitation projects. Currently, the portal carries reliable and easily accessible information about programs and projects, existing policies, research/publications, statistics, among others, relevant to the WATSAN sector. Efforts are underway in incorporating data on investments in the sector, possible mapping of water service providers, and sector analysis/assessment as support to the implementation of the Philippine Water Supply Sector Roadmap.
