The 2009 Water and Sanitation Prize sponsored by the IDB and FEMSA, was created to recognize government authorities and service providers in Latin America and the Caribbean who have implemented innovative and effective solutions to specific problems in the areas of potable water, sanitation and wastewater treatment, and solid waste management. The prize highlights providers that have achieved measurable progress through implementing defined strategies and any managerial, technical, financial, commercial, social or environmental interventions that lead to documented improvements in water service quality and access.
