Universal access to safe drinking water, sanitation and hygiene 748 million people lack access to an improved source of drinking water 1 billion people practice open defecation It was widely agreed that the The target By 2030: • to eliminate open defecation; • to achieve universal access to basic drinking water, sanitation and hygiene for households, schools and health facilities; • to halve the proportion of the population without access at home to safely managed drinking water and sanitation services; and • to progressively eliminate inequalities in access. These recommendations have been developed through an extensive technical consultation; over 100 experts from over 60 organizations worldwide have debated them during the last three years.

The population data used Surface water Open defecation Surface drinking water sources: River, dam, lake, pond, stream, canal, irrigation channels.

For communication purposes in its report, the JMP displays these proportions as rounded integers, which together add to 100% for drinking water and sanitation, respectively. For its database on the JMP website (www.wssinfo.org), we use unrounded estimates to achieve greater accuracy when converting coverage estimates into numbers of people with or without access. Any apparent discrepancies between the published estimates and those derived from the JMP website are due to the published estimates appearing rounded to the nearest integer. 17 Simple linear regression is used to estimate the proportion of the population using the following drinking water sources: - Piped supplies on premises - Improved drinking water sources - Surface water and sanitation categories: - Improved types of sanitation facilities (including shared facilities of an improved type) - Open defecation The remaining population uses unimproved drinking water sources and unimproved sanitation facilities, respectively. 15 16 derive estimates does not allow rapid JMP database (see Fig. A1-1).

For its database on the JMP website (www.wssinfo.org), the JMP uses unrounded estimates to achieve greater accuracy when converting coverage estimates into numbers of people with or without access. Any discrepancies between the published estimates and those derived from the JMP website are due to the published estimates appearing rounded to the nearest integer. imple linear regression is used to estimate the proportion of the population using the following S drinking water sources: piped water on premises; improved drinking water sources; surface water; and sanitation facilities: improved types of sanitation facilities; open defecation. The remaining population uses unimproved drinking water sources and unimproved sanitation facilities, respectively. 3 lobal MDG target applied to countries, areas or territories. These assessments are preliminary; the G final assessments will be made in 2015 for the final MDG report. Definitions are as follows: if 2012 estimate of improved drinking water or improved sanitation coverage is i) greater than or equal to the 2015 target or the 2012 coverage is greater than or equal to 99.5%: Met target; ii) within 3% of the 2012 coverage-when-on-track: On track; iii) within 3–7% of the 2012 coverage-when-on-track: Progress insufficient; iv) >7% of the 2012 coverage-when-on-track or 2012 coverage ≤1990 coverage: Not on track.

JMP displays these proportions as rounded integers, which F together add to 100% for drinking water and sanitation, respectively. For its database on the JMP website (www.wssinfo.org), the JMP uses unrounded estimates to achieve greater accuracy when converting coverage estimates into numbers of people with or without access. Any discrepancies between the published estimates and those derived from the JMP website are due to the published estimates appearing rounded to the nearest integer. 2 imple linear regression is used to estimate the proportion of the population using the following S drinking water sources: piped water on premises; improved drinking water sources; surface water; and sanitation facilities: improved types of sanitation facilities; open defecation. The remaining population uses unimproved drinking water sources and unimproved sanitation facilities, respectively. 3 lobal MDG target applied to countries, areas or territories. These assessments are preliminary; the G final assessments will be made in 2015 for the final MDG report. Definitions are as follows: if 2012 estimate of improved drinking water or improved sanitation coverage is i) greater than or equal to the 2015 target or the 2012 coverage is greater than or equal to 99.5%: Met target; ii) within 3% of the 2012 coverage-when-on-track: On track; iii) within 3–7% of the 2012 coverage-when-on-track: Progress insufficient; iv) >7% of the 2012 coverage-when-on-track or 2012 coverage ≤1990 coverage: Not on track.

Trends in rural sanitation coverage in developing regions and the world, 1990–2012 75 UN-Water is the United Nations (UN) inter-agency coordination mechanism for freshwater related issues, including sanitation. It was formally established in 2003 building on a long history of collaboration in the UN family. UN-Water is comprised of UN entities with a focus on, or interest in, water related issues as Members and other non-UN international organizations as Partners. The work of UN-Water is organized around Thematic Priority Areas and Task Forces as well as awareness-raising campaigns such as World Water Day (22 March) and World Toilet Day (19 November). The main purpose of UN-Water is to complement and add value to existing programmes and projects by facilitating synergies and joint efforts, so as to maximize system-wide coordinated action and coherence. By doing so, UN-Water seeks to increase the effectiveness of the support provided to Member States in their efforts towards achieving international agreements on water. PERIODIC REPORTS: on the status of the freshwater resource. The Report is the result of the strong collaboration among UN-Water Members and Partners and it represents the coherent and integrated response of the UN system to freshwater-related issues and emerging challenges. The report production coordinated by the World Water Assessment Programme and the theme is harmonized with the theme of World Water Day (22 March). From 2003 to 2012, the WWDR was released every three years and from 2014 the Report is released annually to provide the most up to date and factual information of how water-related challenges are addressed around the world. ✓ Strategic outlook ✓ State, uses and management of water resources ✓ Global ✓ Regional assessments ✓ Triennial (2003-2012) ✓ Annual (from 2014) ✓ Links to the theme of World Water Day (22 March) Global Analysis and Assessment of Sanitation and Drinking-Water (GLAAS) is produced by the World Health Organization (WHO) on behalf of UN-Water.

The MDG drinking water target of 88% coverage was met in 2010. Since 1990, almost two billion people have gained access to an improved sanitation facility. In 2012, 89% of the population had access to an improved The world is not on track to meet the MDG sanitation target. drinking water source. Between 1990 and 2012, 1.6 billion people gained access to a piped drinking water supply on premises. Almost 750 million people still rely on an unimproved source for their drinking water. Since 2000, an average of 50 000 people per day in subSaharan Africa have gained access to an improved drinking water source. In 2012, 64% of the population had access to an improved sanitation facility – up 15% from 1990. Two and a half billion people do not have access to improved sanitation. One billion people still practise open defecation; nine out of 10 are in rural areas. Seven out of 10 people without improved sanitation facilities live in rural areas. Eighty-two per cent of the world’s population without improved drinking water sources live in rural areas. T he urban–rural disparity in access to drinking water and sanitation is decreasing in a majority of countries. A ccess to basic drinking water and sanitation services is generally lower among the poor; disparities in access are also observed for some minority and religious groups. New priorities for post-2015 monitoring include making the invisible visible by tracking access among marginalized or otherwise disadvantaged populations and monitoring access to water and sanitation in schools and health-care facilities.
