The Group of Senior Officials for Water Supply and Sanitation Sector Reform in EECCA (GSO) has been established following the conclusions of the Ministerial Consultation on Water Management and Investments in Almaty, October 2000. The main objective of the Group is to promote policy reforms in the water supply and sanitation sector and to elaborate practical approaches to support capacity development, in particular for better economic and financial management of the Sector in EECCA. Since 2005 the GSO is meeting jointly with the EU Water Initiative EECCA Working Group. Both groups are overseeing a common work programme and bring together senior policy makers from EECCA Ministries in charge of water supply and sanitation, as well as water resources management, plus donors, IFIs, NGOs and the private sector.
