Meeting water and sanitation SDGs: A role for public banks?

Hundreds of millions of people lack clean, reliable, and affordable water and sanitation services (WSS). The situation has slightly improved since 2000, yet only 45 percent of countries are on track to fulfill their 2030 Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) drinking water and sanitation targets. The United Nations 2023 WSS report states that SDG 6 progress “is alarmingly off track”, requiring massive action by 2030. Poor countries are furthest behind.

And yet universal access to clean and affordable WSS is an achievable goal. Simple technology can be managed locally, while safe WSS offers huge health, economic, and environmental benefits. There is an urgent need for a real and material increase in WSS investments, notably in the Global South.
