Claim: Water supply and sanitation in Guatemala (involves drinking water supply,  the provision of water by public utilities) involves a multitude of government entities for example the INFOM created in 1957.
Evidence: The drinking water supply and sanitation sector in Guatemala is characterized by low and inconsistent service coverage, especially in rural areas; unclear allocation of management responsibilities; and little or no regulation and monitoring of service provision. INFOM, created in 1957, is a decentralized public institution whose mission is to support municipalities through the provision of administrative, financial, and technical assistance. There are a multitude of government entities involved in water and sanitation and none of them has been assigned a clear leadership role in the sector.
