The Global Analysis and Assessment of Sanitation and Drinking-Water (GLAAS) report was released by the WHO and UN-Water.
This report compiles new data on drinking-Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) from 121 countries and territories and 23 External Support Agencies (ESAs).
Less than one-third of countries reported maintaining enough human resources to manage essential Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) tasks.
45% of countries are on track to meet their drinking-water coverage targets, but only 25% are meeting their sanitation targets.
Aid for water and sanitation decreased by 5.6% between 2017 and 2020, and the geographical targeting of the aid shifted.
In sub-Saharan Africa, the proportion of WASH aid dropped from 32% to 23%.
In Central and Southern Asia, it increased from 12% to 20%, and in Eastern and South-Eastern Asia, it increased from 11% to 20%.
