| Short description: |
One of the World Health Organisation’s (WHO) millenium goals is to halve the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation by 2015. Globally, 420 million people in developing countries need improved access to water and 1052 billion people need improved sanitation by 2014 to meet the target. While access is improving in many countries, the sanitation part of the target is likely to fall short by 550 million people. A new report on the costs of achieving these goals highlights the often forgotten cost of maintaining supplies and services.
