Berlin Consultation (May 2011)

>60 experts, members of global, regional & national agencies

Recommendations•Improve existing global WatSan monitoring system•Aspire to universal access with interim targets•Special attention to reflecting the human rights to WatSan•Expand targets and indicators, globally relevant•Explore different standards for rural and urban•Promote greater alignment between global and national•Political sensitization and link to future development goals•Draft a Roadmap and set up Working Groups


44

Tasks of the Working Groups

• Propose a menu of improved global targets and indicators

• Advise the most SMART “bankable” ones for global level, congruent with a possible SDG on water

• Identify the means to measure these targets and indicators

• Process: work with other WGs, broader consultation


Summary Outcomes of Working Groups

• Universal use of basic WASH• Higher levels of service

• Progressively reduce inequalities towards universality

• Sustainability

• Settings beyond the household


The Four Proposed Targets

1. By 2025: – no one practices open defecation

2. By 2030:– everyone uses basic drinking-water supply and

adequate hand washing facilities when at home– all schools and health care facilities provide all

users with basic drinking-water supply & adequate sanitation, hand washing facilities and menstrual hygiene facilities

6


3. By 2040:– everyone uses adequate sanitation when at home– the proportion of the population not using

intermediate drinking-water supply at home is reduced by half

– the excreta from at least half of schools, health centres and households are safely managed

For all these targets: Progressive reduction in disparities between selected sub-groups

7

The Four Proposed Targets


Progressive reduction in disparities

8


Proposed ‘basic’ household access definitions

Basic drinking water supply:– Use of an improved drinking water source– ≤ 30 minute water collection round trip– Urban: exclude protected dug wells and springs

Adequate sanitation– Use of an improved sanitation facility– Shared between five households or less

Handwashing facility – Fixed or movable device to contain, transport or regulate

the flow of water, with soap and water, available near sanitation facilities and where food is prepared/consumed

9


Definitions for higher level services

Intermediate drinking water supply at home– Use of an improved drinking water source on premises– Available in acceptable quantities at least 12/14 days– <10 cfu E.Coli/100ml

Safe management of household excreta – Carried through a sewer network to a designated location

(e.g. treatment facility) with treatment; or– Hygienically collected from septic tanks or latrine pits by a

suction truck (or similar) and transported to a designated location for treatment; or

– Stored on site (e.g. in a sealed latrine pit) until they are safe to handle and re-use (e.g. as an agricultural input)

10


All WASH services are delivered in a progressively affordable, accountable, financially & environmentally sustainable manner• Providers registered with a regulatory authority• Financial expenditure of poor households on WASH below

3% of the national poverty line• Ratio of annual revenue to annual expenditure on O&M• Ratio of annual expenditure on O&M to annualized value of

capital assets• Water supply within national standards of faecal content• Ratio of per capita water production to renewable water

resources

11

Target 4: Cross-Cutting Issues


• Revisit ambition of targets, end-date consistency

• Reduce number of targets• Fine-tune and adjust definition of indicators and

appropriateness of wording• Further review measurability of proposed

indicators• Communication strategy

– The materials & messages– Target audiences and mechanisms of influence– Partners and carriers of messages

12

Outcomes of Expert / Stakeholder Meetings


• Technical refinement and evidence gathering– Further engagement of WG Chairs and experts, further evidence

reviews, incorporate feedback from consultations, revised proposal

– Assess costs of achieving WASH targets and financing gaps

– Collect information on proposed indicators and create credible baseline – assess likely costs/mechanisms of global monitoring

• Engage in broader technical and political processes– UN Thematic Consultations: ‘Big’ Water, other themes

(sustainability, governance, gender, education, health, …)

– High level stakeholders and ‘champions’, High Level Panel, open working group on Sustainable Development Goals

– Dialogue with countries and regional bodies
