Glaas Report 2022 - Infographics

The document highlights the urgent need for acceleration in WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) systems to meet SDG 6 by 2030, revealing that funding remains insufficient and many countries lack the necessary resources to implement their plans. It notes that while some countries are on track for drinking-water targets, significantly fewer are on track for sanitation, and issues such as inadequate civic participation and human resources persist. The findings are based on data from 121 countries and are detailed in the UN-Water Global Analysis and Assessment of Sanitation and Drinking-Water (GLAAS) 2022 report.

DATA SHINE A LIGHT:

THE WAY AHEAD FOR WASH


ACCELERATION
There are more data than ever before on WASH systems and they give unprecedented
clarity on how we can accelerate progress.
Data gathered from 121 countries and 23 external support agencies give us the
clearest-ever picture of the resourcing, policy and practice gaps we need to fill to get
SDG 6 – water and sanitation for all by 2030 – on track.
