The Hashimoto Action Plan II
Strategy and Objectives through 2012
The United Nations Secretary-General's Advisory Board on
Water and Sanitation (UNSGAB) is embarking on their next strategic phase with
the release of the Hashimoto Action Plan II. In only a few years, world
leaders will assess progress made towards the Millennium Development Goals, including
the targets to halve by 2015 the number of people without sustainable access
to safe drinking water and basic sanitation.
The Hashimoto Action Plan II builds on five of the six original focus areas — financing, sanitation, monitoring, integrated water resources management and water and disaster.

This progress report, published by the World Health Organization and the United Nations Children's Fund, provides the status of safe drinking-water and sanitation standards and the significant progress made to reaching the Millennium Development Goal target of halving the number of people without access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation by 2015. The report focuses on equity issues and highlights that the vast majority of people without access to water and sanitation live in rural areas.

Poor people depend most directly on the services delivered by natural resources and ecosystems. They depend on them for food, water, fibres, fuel and income. Natural resources are often the few assets poor people have, and their degradation has a direct negative impact on these people’s livelihoods. It makes the poor even more vulnerable, and exposes them to increased frequency and impact of droughts, floods, landslides and other natural disasters. In the context of climate change, vulnerability increases dramatically in the face of environmental degradation. MDG 7 is the only Millennium Development Goal where the overall situation is getting worse, with ecosystems being depleted at a rate faster than they can be regenerated. |
