These Guidelines outline the main elements, principles and methods for establishing and managing successful LGAs’ Water and Sanitation Services (WSS) committees, which would significantly contribute in advancing LGAs’ activity in improving WSS services. The Guidelines were developed based on LGAs’ staff and committee representatives’ contributions collected during a workshop organised in January 2024, and amended after the training for LGAs’ committees held in October 2024, both within the Regional Capacity Development Network for Water and Sanitation Services (RCDN). These Guidelines focus on WSS committees, but the principles are the same and they can be applied for any other LGA’s sectoral committee.
