The Water and Sanitation Crisis

• 2.5 billion people without access to improved sanitation • 780 million without access to improved drinking water sources (WHO UNICEF 2012 • 3,900 children killed every day (UNMP-TWS 2005) Access to Water and Sanitation- the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)

4. General Importance of SSWM

Synergies Between SSWM and Other MDGs MDG Goal

Eradicate extreme poverty and hunger Achieve universal primary education Promote gender equality and empower women Reduce child mortality Improve maternal health Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases Ensure environmental sustainability Develop a global partnership for development Access to Water and Sanitation- the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)

Synergies With SSWM

Increased food security, working productivity Decreased absence from school due to waterborne diseases Reduced burden to collect water, better health Decreased waterborne diseases Access to safe water and sanitation, improved hygiene Decreased incidence of diarrhoea, cholera, other waterborne diseases Improve quality of freshwater sources, reduce eutrophication Stakeholder participation, enable actors

5. Indicators for MDGs

Joint Monitoring Program for Water Supply and Sanitation (JMP)

• Data collection: ◦ International Household Survey Network (IHSN) ◦ 729 nationally representative household surveys, 152 Censuses

(WHO UNICEF 2010)

• How do we evaluate “safe” drinking water and sanitation?

The Drinking Water Ladder

• “Unimproved:” unprotected dug well, unprotected spring, surface water (i.e. river, dam, lake, pond, stream), bottled water Unimproved • “Other improved:” public taps or standpipes, tube wells or boreholes, protected dug wells, protected springs, rainwater collection Improved • “Piped water on premises:” piped household water connection located inside the user’s dwelling, plot, or yard

5. Indicators for MDGs

The Sanitation Ladder

• “Open defecation:” disposal of human faeces in open spaces or with solid waste • “Unimproved facilities:” do not ensure hygienic separation of human excreta from human contact • “Shared:” otherwise acceptable sanitation facilities shared between two or more households Unimproved • “Improved:” ensure hygienic separation of human excreta from human contact

5. Indicators for MDGs

Criticisms of the Joint Monitoring Program Methodology

• Critics: the sanitation ladder focuses too much on technical solutions • Proposition: use “function-based sanitation ladder” that begins with excreta containment and ends with integrated resource management
