C'est un moment important dans le combat pour des services adéquats d'eau potable et d'assainissement en Afrique de l'Ouest. A l'appel d'IRC et du Programme Solidarité Eau pSEau, environ deux cents professionnels et autorités du secteur de l'eau potable et de l'assainissement, venus de 32 pays d'Afrique et du reste du monde, francophones et anglophones, ont rallier Ouagadougou les 7 ,8 et 9 avril 2014. L'objet de cet important rassemblement est le séminaire sur le suivi-évaluation des services locaux d'eau potable et d'assainissement dans les zones rurales et villes secondaires. Faire du suivi-évaluation un outil intégré dans la planification, la gestion et les mécanismes de prises de décisions des autorités et professionnels au niveau local, tel est le défi que les participants ont décidé de relever au cours des années à venir.
