First GLAAS ReportFirst GLAAS Report

First UN-Water GLAAS report launched on 21 April 2010

Report includes data from 27 donors (all major ones) and 42 developing countries


The GLAAS recommendationsThe GLAAS recommendations

Four recommendations

– R1: Demonstrate greater political commitment

– R2: Target resources better to accelerate progress towards meeting the sanitation and drinking-water MDG target


The GLAAS recommendationsThe GLAAS recommendations

– R3: Strengthen national and sub-national systems to plan, implement and monitor the delivery of sanitation and drinking-water services, especially to un-served populations

– R4: Work in partnership to support the development and implementation of national plans for sanitation and drinking-water


Impact of slow WASH progressImpact of slow WASH progress Unsafe water, inadequate sanitation and

insufficient hygiene are serial killers:– Diarrhoeal disease is the 2nd leading contributor

to global disease burden.

– For children under 15, this burden is greater than the combined impact of HIV/AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis.

– More than 2.2 million deaths of children per year could be prevented

Investing in sanitation and water is extremely cost-effective:

– Economic benefits from US$ 3 to US$ 34 per US$ 1 invested (WHO)

– Cost of poor sanitation = 2-7% of GDP (World Bank)

– Increases school attendance (especially for girls)


The richest in sub-Saharan Africa are almost five times more likely to use

improved sanitation than the poorest

The richest in sub-Saharan Africa are over two times more likely to use an improved

drinking water source than the poorest

Large disparities in access remain between different socio-economic groups

Aid flows for basic water and sanitation remained relatively

constant at US$ 1.1 billion, while aid flows for large systems
