Although sanitation has been hailed as “the most important medical advance since 1840”, over 2.5 billion people – most of them in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia – lack access to basic sanitation. The world is not on track to meet the 2015 Millennium Development Goal (MDG) for sanitation. For the drinking water MDG, progress is better, but the situation still critical in some regions.

The Strategic Plan’s purpose is to guide Trust Fund work in addressing challenges of the internationally agreed-to water and sanitation goals and UN-Habitat mandates, including the overall goals of shelter for all and sustainable human settlement development, as embodied in The Habitat Agenda and the recent Medium Term Strategic and Institutional Plan.
