8 Goals formulated in 2000

Focus on poverty reduction

MDG 7 : Ensure environmental sustainability

Target 7.C:“Halve, by 2015, the proportion of the population without sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation”

Versus reference year1990

1Drinking water & sanitation: status end 2015

Positive Negative

2,6 billion people got access todrinking water

663 million people without access to drinking water

2,1 billion people got access to decent toilet/latrine

2,4 billion people without basic sanitation.1 billion practice open defecation

Consequences:

• 80 % of diseases are waterborne

• 842.000 deaths per year

• Every day: 1000 children

• 250 tot 300 million lost working days
