A/HRC/42/47/Add.4 Social Control Council will be in charge of intersectoral coordination among all members of the councils and CONAPS will be responsible for subsidies and the establishment of tariffs for all system operators. 30. The Special Rapporteur welcomes efforts and plans adopted by the Government to create a water and sanitation regulatory public entity that will be independent from providers and that will have competency to regulate and oversee water and sanitation service providers. In particular, he welcomes the initiatives to create CONAPS and the Regulation and Social Control Council. Nevertheless, such bodies should be bound by policy and legal frameworks aligned with the elements of the human rights to water and sanitation. The Special Rapporteur notes that no actions have yet been adopted to create both bodies that would coordinate actors in the water and sanitation sector and calls on the Government to reinforce their actions to achieve this. PROGRESS ON-GOING: The Special Rapporteur urges the Government to take measures to create and implement CONAPS and the Regulation and Social Control Council. He further recommends the Government establish a framework to ensure that both entities will comply with human rights, guarantee public participation in decision-making, provide appropriate information and provide that water and sanitation are affordable for all. III. Human rights to water and sanitation A. Recommendation on access to water and sanitation in schools RECOMMENDATION 8: “Improve access to water, sanitation and hygiene in schools by adopting a policy that guarantees access in all educational establishments, in both rural and urban areas.” (A/HRC/33/49/Add.1, para. 96(f)). 31. The Special Rapporteur noted during his country visit that in 2014 more than 1,100 schools (or 10 per cent of all educational establishments) had no piped drinking water and that this problem is more acute in rural schools where public policy does not indicate how to ensure access to water and sanitation. (A/HRC/33/49/Add.1, paras 46 and 47). 32. The Government confirmed that there is no specific policy ensuring access to water and sanitation facilities in schools. In rural communities with supply systems, the managing councils are responsible for providing water, in many cases for free. The Government also noted that the Ministry of Education guides the education sector through institutional memos containing advice on efforts to avoid illnesses or outbreaks from spreading, as well as providing basic guidance and recommendations on personal hygiene and educational environment maintenance. Furthermore, the Ministry launched a project in rainwater collection under which 516 rainwater collection systems have been installed. 33. The Special Rapporteur is disappointed that no specific actions have been taken in order to improve access to water and sanitation and hygiene in schools apart from a rainwater collection system programme launched by the Ministry of Education. PROGRESS NOT STARTED: The Special Rapporteur reiterates his previous recommendation and calls on the Government of El Salvador to improve access to water, sanitation and hygiene in schools by adopting a policy that guarantees access in all educational establishments, in both rural and urban areas. B. Recommendation on water security RECOMMENDATION 9: “Introduce policies to ensure water security and access to water on equal conditions, guaranteeing water supply 24 hours a day 7 days a week. The Government should also “reduce drastically the level of leakage so as to increase the 9
