Burundi joined SWA in 2010. The government, with the support of its partners, developed a National Water (PNEau) and a National Sanitation Policy (NAP), which are important political guidelines for the water and sanitation sector. The Government and development partners collaborate through the Water, Sanitation and Environment Cluster (GSEAE).
