"Looking through the GLAAS"


Context and content of presentationContext and content of presentation Data from first UN-Water GLAAS report – launched yesterday 21 April

Report includes data from nearly all donors and 42 developing countries

WHO GLAAS team worked closely with World Bank WSP team that is preparing the Country Status Overviews for 32 African countries

Strong collaboration between UN-Water GLAAS and WSP-CSO

Presentation looks at:– Impact of poor sanitation and unsafe water– Targeting of resources

• Who's providing the external resources?• Who's receiving ODA?• Who's not receiving ODA?• Are resources focused on the poor and the un-served?

– What is happening at the country level– Some highlights

1. Impact of poor sanitationand unsafe water


HEALTH

2.2 million preventable deaths of children

Diarrhoea the second leading contributor to global disease burden

For children under 15, impact of diarrhoea greater than that of HIV/AIDS, malaria and TB combined

Overall around 9% of the global burden of disease attributable to poor sanitation and unsafe water

EDUCATION

11% increase in girls attendance in Bangladesh – UNICEF study

Evidence of increased learning performance when worm infections reduced

ECONOMY

$ economic benefits of many times the $ invested

World Bank estimate between 2% and 7% of GDP lost through poor sanitation and unsafe water in developing countries

Aid flows for basic water and sanitation remained relatively

constant at US$ 1.1 billion, and aid flows for large

systems increased from US$ 2.6 billion to US$ 4.3 billion

from 2000 to 2008

6. Highlights Donors

6. Highlights Donors

WASH aid increased between 2000 and 2008: by over 150% to Africa and over 50% globally

Over the same period, WASH aid reduced as a % of overall aid (from approx 6.3% to 4.7%)

42% of aid targeted to LICs (plus some regional aid)

Top 12 priority recipients receive 50% of WSS aid

ODA for basic services declined from 27% to 16% over the last five years

Donors targeted 37% of WASH aid to sanitation against 63% to water

Predictability of donor funding as perceived by GLAAS countries increasing


6. Highlights Developing countries

6. Highlights Developing countries

Most countries developed national MDG targets but financial flows to WASH insufficient to meet these national MDG targets in many countries

Governments spend 20% of WASH funds on sanitation (median figure)

Only one third of countries implement criteria for targeting resources to the poor for water and hardly any for sanitation

Most countries have developed WASH policies but only one half have clearly defined and operationalized roles for WASH institutions

Most countries are developing some kind of HRD plan, but many HR obstacles are cited

Most countries have an annual review process but few update undertakings made in previous reviews

Around one third of sub-sectors utilize over 75% of donor commitments, but 20% utilize less than 50%

Local participation in planning and implementation of programmes not consistently applied in any of the four sub-sectors (urban/rural water/sanitation)
