3. Berlin Consultation (May 2011)
>60 experts, members of global, regional & national agencies
Recommendations
•Improve existing global WatSan monitoring system
•Aspire to universal access with interim targets
•Special attention to reflecting the human rights to WatSan
•Expand targets and indicators, globally relevant
•Explore different standards for rural and urban
•Promote greater alignment between global and national
•Political sensitization and link to future development goals
•Draft a Roadmap and set up Working Groups

4. Tasks of the Working Groups
• Propose a menu of
improved global targets
and indicators
• Advise the most SMART
“bankable” ones for global
level, congruent with a
possible SDG on water
• Identify the means to
measure these targets and
indicators
• Process: work with other
WGs, broader consultation

5. Summary Outcomes of Working Groups
• Universal use of basic WASH
• Higher levels of service
• Progressively reduce
inequalities towards
universality
• Sustainability
• Settings beyond the household

6. The Four Proposed Targets
1. By 2025:
– no one practices open defecation
2. By 2030:
– everyone uses basic drinking-water supply and
adequate hand washing facilities when at home
– all schools and health care facilities provide all
users with basic drinking-water supply &
adequate sanitation, hand washing facilities and
menstrual hygiene facilities

7. The Four Proposed Targets
3. By 2040:
– everyone uses adequate sanitation when at home
– the proportion of the population not using
intermediate drinking-water supply at home is
reduced by half
– the excreta from at least half of schools, health
centres and households are safely managed
For all these targets: Progressive reduction in disparities
between selected sub-groups

9. Proposed ‘basic’ household access definitions
Basic drinking water supply:
– Use of an improved drinking water source
– ≤ 30 minute water collection round trip
– Urban: exclude protected dug wells and springs
Adequate sanitation
– Use of an improved sanitation facility
– Shared between five households or less
Handwashing facility
– Fixed or movable device to contain, transport or regulate
the flow of water, with soap and water, available near
sanitation facilities and where food is prepared/consumed

10. Definitions for higher level services
Intermediate drinking water supply at home
– Use of an improved drinking water source on premises
– Available in acceptable quantities at least 12/14 days
– <10 cfu E.Coli/100ml
Safe management of household excreta
– Carried through a sewer network to a designated location
(e.g. treatment facility) with treatment; or
– Hygienically collected from septic tanks or latrine pits by a
suction truck (or similar) and transported to a designated
location for treatment; or
– Stored on site (e.g. in a sealed latrine pit) until they are safe
to handle and re-use (e.g. as an agricultural input)

11. Target 4: Cross-Cutting Issues
All WASH services are delivered in a progressively affordable,
accountable, financially & environmentally sustainable manner
• Providers registered with a regulatory authority
• Financial expenditure of poor households on WASH below
3% of the national poverty line
• Ratio of annual revenue to annual expenditure on O&M
• Ratio of annual expenditure on O&M to annualized value of
capital assets
• Water supply within national standards of faecal content
• Ratio of per capita water production to renewable water
resources

12. Outcomes of Expert / Stakeholder Meetings
• Revisit ambition of targets, end-date
consistency
• Reduce number of targets
• Fine-tune and adjust definition of indicators and
appropriateness of wording
• Further review measurability of proposed
indicators
• Communication strategy
– The materials & messages
– Target audiences and mechanisms of influence
– Partners and carriers of “Monitoring Sustainable WASH” – Addis Ababa 11.04.2013 12

13. Priorities for 2013 (in process…)
• Technical refinement and evidence gathering
– Further engagement of WG Chairs and experts, further evidence
reviews, incorporate feedback from consultations, revised
proposal
– Assess costs of achieving WASH targets and financing gaps
– Collect information on proposed indicators and create credible
baseline – assess likely costs/mechanisms of global monitoring
• Engage in broader technical and political processes
– UN Thematic Consultations: ‘Big’ Water, other themes
(sustainability, governance, gender, education, health, …)
– High level stakeholders and ‘champions’, High Level Panel, open
working group on Sustainable Development Goals
– Dialogue with countries and regional bodies
