FERNANDEZ-VARGAS, Gabriel. Water governance as an integrating framework for the fulfillment of the sustainable development goals clean in Latin America. rev.udcaactual.divulg.cient. [online]. 2020, vol.23, n.2, e1561.  Epub July 30, 2020. ISSN 0123-4226.  https://doi.org/10.31910/rudca.v23.n2.2020.1561.

The fulfillment of the Sustainable Development Goal, SDG, No 6 “Clean Water and Sanitation”, promulgated in 2015 by the UN, requires new approaches and conceptual frameworks that articulate and integrate in a practical way the interventions of Drinking Water, Sanitation and Hygiene - WASH, with the Integrated Water Resources Management, IWRM, according to the specific contexts of each territory. In this sense, water governance provides a conceptual framework that allows analyzing and enhancing integration between WASH sectors with IWRM, within the framework of the fulfillment of the SDGs. For this, several case studies in Latin America were documented where sectoral integration was observed, based on the Water Governance Facility model of Water Governance. Although each of the case studies is framed in some specific function of water governance, all require at least one other function in order to achieve their purpose, with “Coordination” being the most relevant observed for the achievement of obtained results.

Keywords : Sustainable Development Goals; Water governance; Integrated water resources management.
