Progress on Sanitation and Drinking Water
Published By: World Health Organisation | Published Date: July, 01 , 2015In 2000 the Member States of the United Nations signed
the Millennium Declaration, which later gave rise to the
Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). Goal 7, to ensure
environmental sustainability, included a target that
challenged the global community to halve, by 2015, the
proportion of people without sustainable access to safe
drinking water and basic sanitation. The WHO/UNICEF Joint
Monitoring Program for Water Supply and Sanitation (JMP),
which began monitoring the sector in 1990, has provided
regular estimates of progress towards the MDG targets,
tracking changes over the 25 years to 2015.
