The National Centre for\nEnvironmental Health and Water Supply (commonly known as Nam Saat) is responsible for the rural water supply and\nsanitation (RWSS) sector in Lao PDR, which includes facilitating for planning and implementation of the RWSS programme.\nMany major steps have been taken to put forward the agenda. However, many more steps need to be taken.
