Goal 6 - Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all

Targets

6.1 By 2030, achieve universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water for all

6.2 By 2030, achieve access to adequate and equitable sanitation and hygiene for all and end open defecation, paying special attention to the needs of women and girls and those in vulnerable situations

6.3 By 2030, improve water quality by reducing pollution, eliminating dumping and minimizing release of hazardous chemicals and materials, halving the proportion of untreated wastewater and substantially increasing recycling and safe reuse globally

6.4 By 2030, substantially increase water-use efficiency across all sectors and ensure sustainable withdrawals and supply of freshwater to address water scarcity and substantially reduce the number of people suffering from water scarcity

6.5 By 2030, implement integrated water resources management at all levels, including through transboundary cooperation as appropriate

6.6 By 2020, protect and restore water-related ecosystems, including mountains, forests, wetlands, rivers, aquifers and lakes

6.a By 2030, expand international cooperation and capacity-building support to developing countries in water- and sanitation-related activities and programmes, including water harvesting, desalination, water efficiency, wastewater treatment, recycling and reuse technologies

6.b Support and strengthen the participation of local communities in improving water and sanitation management

2022 SDG Voluntary National Report  Finding:

  • There is significant progress in achieving Goal  6

Recommendations made in the report include:

1. Construct disaster and climate resilient water supply systems which would withstand shocks from floods, drought etc; construct sanitation and hygiene facilities with strict adherence to standard and consideration for adverse conditions such as drought and floods.

2. Create an enabling environment to incentivise private sector to supply water point spare parts and sanitation products at affordable rates.

3. Establish a regulating body to ensure there is order in the sector.
