    Abstract:
    This article discusses the status of water supplies and sanitation in Latin America and the Caribbean, reviews the dimensions of the sector's manpower problem, and proposes solutions for it. The author considers the activities to be carried on and measures to be taken to cope with the various obstacles ahead in connection with the International Drinking-Water Supply and Sanitation Decade. He feels that the great need for manpower to carry on the work makes it necessary to devise new training methods and teaching instruments and new approaches such as are already applied in some of the countries. Lastly, he emphasizes the need for active participation by all those involved in the sector in one way or another, in a joint effort to arrive at satisfactory solutions and attain the objectives of the Decade.
