The Caribbean region faces ongoing challenges in achieving universal access to safe and resilient WASH services. While basic coverage is generally high, significant gaps remain in rural areas, small island states, informal settlements, and vulnerable communities. Aging infrastructure, weak wastewater and fecal sludge management systems, limited financing, and fragmented governance continue to affect service quality, sustainability, and public health outcomes.
To address these challenges, stronger sector governance, sustainable financing, and institutional capacity are needed.
