Report on Sanitation
Philip Walterhouse
The Millennium Development Goal on Environmental Sustainability defines halving the proportion of the population without access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation by 2015. In addition to being an independent target that the international community is working towards, access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation is instrumental in achieving all other Millennium Development Goals.
Ensuring safe drinking water and adequate sanitation will control the spread of disease, decrease mortality, increase productivity, reduce poverty and build gender equality. Currently, women and girls are disproportionately affected by lack of access to clean water and basic sanitation. The purpose of this report is to further explore the aforementioned issues and to discuss the importance and likelihood of reaching this Millennium Development Goal by 2015 based on existing realities and current trends.
