2) Strategic Decisions<\/strong>
\nThe WATERLAT-GOBACIT Network and the Public Services International (PSI) agreed to establish a strategic alliance to strengthen their capacities to confront the threats against the democratization of water politics and management. Especially, we seek to strengthen the interaction between academics, workers organizations, public sector institutions, social movements of urban, peasant, and indigenous groups, and civil society groups more generally. Our alliance will focus mainly on research, education, and practical intervention in the field of essential water and sanitation services, including their ecological-environmental dimension.
