• The flaws
No sanitation target.
Targets developed by politicians ("affordable" vs
"sustainable" determined association to Goal 1 or 7).
Indicators agreed by diplomats – definition of
"improved sources" as a proxy for water
quality/safety.

An improved drinking water source is one that, by the natureof its construction, adequately protects the source fromoutside contamination, particularly fecal matter.Piped water on premises : piped household water connectionlocated inside the user's dwelling, plot or yardOther improved drinking water sources : public taps,standpipes, tubewells, boreholes, protected dug wells,
protected springs, rainwater collection.

Between 1990 and 2011 over two billion people gained access toimproved drinking-water sources.
The percentage without accessdropped from 24% to 11% over that
period.
Many countries, including in sub-Saharan Africa, show an above-average performance in expanding
access.

In summary
• In 2010, 89% of the world's population, or 6.1 billionpeople, used improved drinking-water sources.
• Since 1990, 2 billion people gained access, of whom 1.2 billion live inurban areas.
• Piped-on-premises was raised from 45% to 54%
• Use of « other unimproved sources » declined from 18% to 8%.
• Surface water use declined from 6% to 3%.

And the most critical issues
The current indicator does not measure the drinking watertarget to its full extent:
No direct measurement of water quality No direct measurement of service sustainability
This points to the technical, capacity building and
policy challenges that lie ahead in the post-2015 period.

Governments are the duty bearers with three types ofobligations: to respect, protect and fulfil human rights. Asexamples:Respect – the State may not prevent people already enjoying the rightsfrom continuing to enjoy them; the State must no disconnect anindividual's water supply without respecting due process.Protect – the State must prevent third parties from polluting a watersource; where water services are operated by the private sector, the Statemust ensure affordability through adequate pricing regulation.Fulfil – the State must ensure that the conditions are in place for everyoneto realise their rights, i.e. that all persons are progressively connected to asafe drinking water supply.

“Safe management of excreta” (containment, extraction, and transport to a
designated disposal or treatment site, safe re-use at the household or community level)
“Intermediate” (on premises, discontinuity <2 days in 2 weeks, E

“Adequate” ( pit latrine, sewer or septic tank ,shared by no more than 5 families or 30
persons)
“Basic” (not on premises, “ improved ” source, <30 min

No one practices defecation in bush or field orditch; no excreta deposited on the ground andcovered with a layer of earth or wrapped and
thrown away; no defecation into surface water

Example: Basic drinking water at homeHouseholds are considered to have a basic drinking-water
service when:•In rural areas, people use water from an ‘improved’ source(existing JMP definitions)•In urban areas, people use piped water into dwelling, yard or
plot, or a standpipe/public tap or a tubewell/borehole•People use water with a total collection time of 30 minutes orless, including queuing
Definitions are critical

Stand boldly by the proposed WASH targets
Promote a comprehensive set of water, sanitation and hygiene
targets: IT CAN BE DONE and LESS IS NOT GOOD ENOUGH
Ensure the human rights principles are reflected in targets andindicators.
Focus on a ladder approach: basic services are only the start,incremental improvement of service levels is a key driver.
Expand the scope : services in schools, health care centresare only the beginning.
