Si hay errores con la traducción yo estaría muy agradecido por sus sugerencias. Servicios de Agua y saneamiento tienen que durar indefinidamente, pero la duración de la ayuda es limitada. Ayuda por lo que deberá utilizarse para ayudar a las instituciones locales no sólo desarrollar la infraestructura sino también operar y mantener servicios de agua y saneamiento en el futuro. Que requiere un cambio de orientación de eficacia de la ayuda a la eficacia del desarrollo: la financiación se convierte en el catalizador para el cambio, la ayuda se canaliza a través del presupuesto del sector del país y las agencias locales adquirir los recursos - Para garantizar una suplir de servicios de agua y saneamiento, a lo largo del ciclo de vida de la infraestructura.

Thanks to Jean de la Harpe. Water and sanitation services need to last indefinitely, but the duration of aid is limited. Aid must therefore be used to help local institutions not just develop infrastructure but also operate and maintain water and sanitation services well into the future. That requires a shift in focus from aid effectiveness to development effectiveness: funding becomes the catalyst for change, aid is channelled through the country’s sector budget, and local agencies acquire the resources—both financial and human—to ensure lasting provision of water and sanitation services, throughout the life-cycle of the infrastructure. Read more on shifting from aid effectiveness to development effectiveness in this briefing note (with the link indicated above) produced by Jean de la Harpe (2012) on making aid effective at the local level.

What about the money?

Governments rarely publish spending plans, which would allow developing country governments to implement long term programs with confidence.

Donor governments rarely coordinate with each other, resulting in duplication (between donors and recipient governments) in some areas and underfunding in others.

What was the money spent on, who provided the services, what activities were performed and which target groups received the benefits?

The lack of transparency in aid makes it is much harder for civil society in developing countries to hold their governments to account for their use of development assistance.

National Health Accounts (NHA) and National AIDS Spending Assessments (NASA) help capture health care spending in a country’s public sector, private sector, and international partners over a defined period — often one year.

Andrew Fearon is an expert in NHA and NASA and this blog is designed to summarize the extensive information that is now being generated in relation to Aid Effectiveness, Resource Tracking and National Health Accounts.
