More than 2 billion people have gained access to improved water sources and 1.8 billion to improved sanitation between 1990 and 2010. This is good news. But the world needs these improvements to happen on a much larger scale and at a much faster pace. Today, 2.5 billion people still lack access to safe sanitation, including 1.1 billion who have no facilities at all and practice open defecation. In the last decade alone, global mobile phone subscriptions have increased more than 800%. In fact, more people today have access to a mobile phone than to a clean toilet. The ubiquity of cell phones in the developing world creates a massive opportunity for mobile technologies to offer new, innovative solutions across many sectors. What can we learn from the mobile technology industry to rapidly scale up access to water and sanitation? This year, the World Bank/Water and Sanitation Program cartoon calendar depicts water and sanitation challenges from a technology perspective to call attention to possible innovations in services to poor people and address some of the misconceptions about the role technology can play.
