25 years Progress on Sanitation and Drinking Water 2015 Update and MDG Assessment Joint Monitoring Programme for Water Supply and Sanitation (JMP) (2015)
This report shows how the world has changed since 1990. It provides an assessment of progress towards the MDG target, and insight into the remaining challenges.
Section A provides an overview of progress against the parameters specified in the MDG target for water and sanitation, in both urban and rural areas. It presents data for the world as a whole, and compares progress across regions. While Section B provides a retrospective analysis of the evolution of water, sanitation and hygiene monitoring over the past 25 years.
The report goes on to examine trends over the MDG period by region and by level of service. It pays particular attention to the numbers of people who have gained the highest level of service in drinking water supply – piped water on premises – and those with no service at all, who use surface water for drinking and practise open defecation. It also highlights that while the target for safe drinking water was met in 2010, 2.4. billion are still left without access to improved sanitation facilities.
