Kathmandu : WaterAid has launched its New Global Strategy 2022-32. There has been notable progress in Nepal, in the field of water, sanitation, and hygiene. However, 23.9 million Nepalese people still live without access to safely managed drinking water.
6.2 million people live without basic sanitation services. 5.6 million people do not have access to basic handwashing facilities at home. At this rate, it will be extremely difficult for Nepal to reach the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 6 for universal sustainable safe water and sanitation by 2030. To fulfill the promise of the SDGs, progress needs to increase four-fold.
The New Global Strategy by WaterAid aims to achieve universal, sustainable, and safe access in focused geographic areas to influence wider ranger. It also prioritizes WASH across the health sector to improve public health and strengthens the resilience of WASH to climate change. The strategy plans to increase the quantity and quality of financing to ensure universal, sustainable, and safe services.
Instead of measuring their success by the millions of people reached with their service delivery work, the New Global Strategy plans on measuring their collective success by the hundreds of millions of people they reach through systematic change.
