(These next few slides paint a picture of where the need is and the scope of the problem. You can run through them very quickly.)(Note: This slide is percentage of people without access – not necessarily on or off track)Talking Points:This slide tells us where the over-800 million people who still lack safe water supply are.The region with the most gaps, which also contains many of the countries which are off-track to achieve the water MDG, is Africa.However, there are large unserved populations in Asia as well.

There is a great deal of inequity of coverage.(You may need to provide a basic explanation of the graph so it is understandable at a glance – for water, the green is the coverage. For sanitation, the blue and yellow are improved sanitation. Water is is 77% for the richest and 16% for the poorest quintile. Sanitation is 86% for the richest and 36% for the poorest.)
So when we look at country coverage data over time, early analysis by stakeholders involved with SWA, which seems to be supported by the GLAAS 2010 findings, suggests that the lagging progress to achieve the MDG targets, especially the sanitation MD is associated with : insufficient political prioritisation; insufficient national investment and poor aid targeting; weak sector capacity at country level; lack of accountability; weak data analysis.Sanitation and Water for All brings together stakeholders from within and outside the sector to address these problems in order to accelerate progress towards and beyond the MDGs.
We know that, while real dollars have in fact increased since 2000, the aid going to WASH as a percentage of overall aid has decreased and especially with regard to the other main social sectors of education and health
We know that, if we are trying to achieve the MDGs, aid is poorly targeted. Only 42% of WASH aid is targeted to Low Income Countries. Middle Income Countries receive the majority of WASH aid.
We know that the percentage of WASH aid going to basic services – the improvements that improve coverage – has declined from 27% to 16% over the last five years.So most sector aid flows go to large systems, ie improving service for those already served.
Sanitation and Water for All just held the first Annual High Level Meeting. The first annual High Level Meeting had three main objectives:Mobilise political supportMonitor progress against global targets and commitments, decide how to address challenges and strengthen mutual accountabilityImprove sector financing & aid-effectiveness.
The Meeting was:Co-chaired by HRH Prince of Orange + Dep. Executive Sec UNICEF (Mr Saad Houry) Attended by:18 Ministers of Finance and Water/Sanitation13 DonorsWorld Bank, AsDB, UN, Civil Society
What are the results of the High Level meeting?Improved coordination and increased political prioritisationThe Minister of Finance from Ghana, who had previously not been engaged in the sector prioritized attending the meeting, and made the point that sanitation has a role to play in job creation and that made the issue interesting to him. Ghana is now reviewing expenditures and plans.There was an extensive preparatory process prior to the HLM, which strengthened inter-ministerial dialogue between Finance and Water/Sanitation Ministries and Ministers in 20 countries and brought the issue to the forefront in many countries where it previously wasn’t. Further, in-country coordination amongst the government and development partners was strengthened as a result of the HLM preparation, bringing partners together to work in greater cooperation.
Financing results:Minister Sonjica, South Africa’s Minister of Water Affairs and the current Chair of the African Ministers’ Council on Water, spoke on behalf of the sector Ministers and called on donors to increase sector aid for basic services to 27% (from the current level of 16%) and overall aid to LICs to 50% (from the current level of 42%).If donors meet that Call to Action over the next five years, over $1 billion will be mobilized towards basic services beyond current allocations (nearly a doubling). We are still analysing commitments and surveying post-High Level Meeting decisions, but anecdotally, we can see countries also committing increased to the sector.Following the HLM, the Senegalese Minister of Finance has committed $120 million over 4 years to the sector, which equals 20% of the financing gap in Senegal. In Angola, a proposal for over $100 million had been sitting idle before the HLM. When the Minister of Environment returned from Washington DC, she briefed the Head of State and the proposal was funded by the Cabinet as a result.
