*The report confirms that advances continue to be made towards greater
access to safe drinking-water.*

“……Progress in relation to access to basic sanitation is however
insufficient to achieve the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) target to
halve, by 2015, the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe
drinking-water and basic sanitation.

Purpose and scope of this report This report describes the status and trends
with respect to the use of safe drinking-water and basic sanitation, and
progress made towards the MDG drinking-water and sanitation target.



As the world approaches 2015, it becomes increasingly important to identify
who are being left behind and to focus on the challenges of addressing their
needs.



This report presents some striking disparities: the gap between progress in
providing access to drinking-water versus sanitation; the divide between
urban and rural populations in terms of the services provided; differences
in the way different regions are performing, bearing in mind that they
started from different baselines; and disparities between different
socioeconomic strata in society….”
