| description |
For many countries still striving to
provide their populations with basic access to water,
sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services, the initial years of
the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) is an appropriate
time to reflect on and reassess current arrangements to
finance the WASH sector. The 2017 High-Level Meeting of
Finance Ministers will be the first held since the launch of
the SDGs and will provide an opportunity for collective
discussion on the roadmap for financing the water,
sanitation and hygiene components of SDG 6, the so-called
water SDG. The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development
introduced a new level of ambition for water, sanitation and
hygiene (WASH) services, encouraging countries to aspire to
even higher levels of service and thus greater health,
economic, social, and environmental benefits. This
discussion paper provides a framework for country-level
discussion, setting out key considerations for countries as
they undertake financial planning for efforts to meet the
SDGs. This paper covers the following aspects:(i) Estimating
the costs and benefits associated with the SDG targets for
WASH; (ii) Using existing financial resources more
effectively; (iii) Accessing new resources; and (iv) Taking
action to close the SDG financing gap. |
