This report presents the key findings from the financial impact assessment of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic on WSS service providers in Latin America and draws cross-cutting lessons. The report also documents examples of good practices that can be implemented at the WSS service provider and government levels to build the financial resilience of the sector and lays out some financing mechanisms that can help service providers enhance their capacity to cope with future pandemics or other crises, including natural disasters.
