description |
In Pakistan, the deterioration of the
environment continues to harm livelihoods and health,
increasing the vulnerability of the nation's poor. It
has long been clear that lack of access to clean water and
sanitation facilities has a wide variety of impacts;
however, the data and evidence needed to verify the size of
the burden imposed on the people of Pakistan are limited. As
a result, investment in the water and sanitation sector
remains well below what is required to ensure for the
population a basic minimum of services. Indeed,
Pakistan's population is projected to grow by more than
2.9 percent a year, which means an additional 4.0 million
people each year who will require additional clean water and
sanitation facilities. The Water and Sanitation Program
undertook this study to conduct evidence based research to
help advocacy in the sanitation sector. The study aims to
empirically estimate the economic impacts of current poor
sanitation conditions in Pakistan as well as the economic
benefits of options for improved conditions. The
study's ultimate goal is to provide policy makers at
both national and local levels with evidence to justify
larger investments in improving the sanitation conditions in
the country. It also provides recommendations, again based
on empirical evidence, for effectively planning and
implementing sustainable sanitation and hygiene programs. |
