of the resources are invested in projects and only 2%
in operational and administrative expenditure.
The institution provides maintenance to 100% of the
primary national road network, paved or non-paved
roads covering a total of 6,544 kilometers in El
Salvador, of which 3,379 kilometers are paved and
3,165 non-paved.
ANDA
The Administración Nacional de Acueductos y
Alcantarillados is an autonomous institution in
charge of supplying potable water to all Salvadorans.
Its slogan is “Water for everyone”, since half of the
population still has no access to potable water and
basic services.
After years of trying to privatize it, efforts have been
centered in launching a strategic plan for 2014 around
water sustainable development and basic services,
sewage water treatment, all in an efficient manner,
helping the population that needs it the most.
Consequently there is a lot of work to do, in an area
where much of foreign investment is needed.
