Title
The politics of water and sanitation in developing countries:
Speech by Jon Lane, Executive Director, WSSCC
Abstract
Thank you for asking me to speak at this event. I have not had the pleasure of working with
Ueli but have known and worked with Roland for many years. I am delighted to honour both
Ueli and Roland's work in this way. Chris has asked me to talk about the politics of water and
sanitation in developing countries, while concentrating my remarks mainly on sanitation.
Since 1987, I have been lucky to be present at a number of the critical meetings and turning
points in policy in our sector, so I am talking subjectively from my personal experience rather
than from a rigorous analysis of the subject – please excuse me for this.
I will start by looking back briefly, then I will air a few current political themes and will say
something about the International Year of Sanitation, before ending with some pointers for
the policy of the future.
