This report summarizes the work of a team that provided technical assistance to the Sub secretary for Environmental Quality [Subsecretarla de Saneamiento Ambiental or SSA] of the Government of Ecuador (GOE). The consultant team was provided by the Water and Sanitation for Health (WASH) Project at the request of USAID/Ecuador. The purpose of the activity was to assist the SSA (also known as the Ecuadorian Institute for Sanitary Works or IEOS)' with the task of preparing for a workshop on formulating a national water and sanitation policy. The workshop, which took place February 1-2, 1994, in Quito, Ecuador, brought together all the Ecuadorian institutions involved in the sector to discuss a draft policy which had been prepared by the SSA. The WASH team was composed of one American and one Ecuadorian professional. The consultancy was carried out from January 24 to February 4, 1994.
