SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT GOALS

Officially known as Transferring our world: the 2030 Agenda

for Sustainable Development.

They are an intergovernmental set of goals (17) with 169 targets. Fig. 1

SDGs were officially adopted on 25 Sept. 2015 by the United Nations.

These goals cut across all aspects of human life.

Aim is to transform our lives and to make the world a better place to

live in.

These goals are a successor to the MDGs which lasted from 2000-

2015

GOAL 6: CLEAN WATER AND SANITATION

The objective of the Goal 6 is to ensure availability and

sustainable management of water and sanitation for all

Water scarcity affects more than 40 per cent of the global

population and is projected to rise. Over 1.7 billion

people are currently living in river basins where water use

exceeds recharge.

WASH experts have stated that without progress on Goal 6,

the other goals and target will not be able to be achieved.

TARGETS OF GOAL 6

The objective of the Goal 6 is to ensure availability and

sustainable management of water and sanitation for all.

Water scarcity affects more than 40 per cent of the global

population and is projected to rise. Over 1.7 billion

people are currently living in river basins where water use

exceeds recharge.

WASH experts have stated that without progress on Goal 6,

the other goals and target will not be able to be achieved.

TARGETS OF GOAL 6

By 2030, substantially increase water-use efficiency across all

sectors and ensure sustainable withdrawals and supply of

freshwater to address water scarcity and substantially reduce the

number of people suffering from water scarcity.

By 2030, implement integrated water resources management at

all levels, including through transboundary cooperation as

appropriate.

By 2020, protect and restore water-related ecosystems, including

mountains, forests, wetlands, rivers, aquifers and lakes.

FINANCING GOAL 6

For Nigeria to meet the Goal 6, the country needs to invest

approximately N52 billion (USD 1.3 billion) annually. The budget

allocated to the Ministry of Water Resources is N44.21 billion.

Federal and State governments provide only limited funding.

Thus, most public water and sanitation investments in Nigeria

are financed by international donors

Major donor include AfDB, China, EU, JICA, UNICEF, USAID,

WaterAid, World Bank etc.

Other donors include DFID, AWF, FDA, Islamic Development,

Bank, Emerging Africa Infrastructure Fund (EAIF) etc.

FINANCING GOAL 6 (Cont’d)

The Government cannot single-handedly finance Goal 6. If we are to

achieve Goal 6, funds must come from the following:

A. Government

B. Public-Private Partnership

C. International Donors (UNICEF, USAID, WaterAid.)

D. Bilateral Agreement with other countries e.g JICA, China

E: Loans from Banks like AfDB, World Bank, IDB.

PROJECT PREPARATION

Money is not all that is needed to achieve Goal 6. Lots of

projects executed in the country fail to meet their objectives

and have positive impact.

The main reasons for this are inadequate project preparation

and M&E.

Project Preparation consists of all the work necessary to

ensure that a proposed project is feasible and appropriate and

that it can be successfully implemented.

This ensure identification and elimination of risks

on time and ensures well conceptualization of projects.

FIG. 3: PROJECT PREPARATION CYCLE

STEPS OF PROJECT PREPARATION

Project Preparation answers the following questions;

Is there an enabling environment for my project?

Is my project clearly defined?

Is my project feasible?

What are is the risk profile of my project?

How will my project be structured (Logic Model)?

How will my project be financed?

How will my project implementation be monitored?

FIG. 4: PROJECT LOGIC MODEL

Project Logic Model describes how the program elements

work together to reach the project’s goals.

WHY PROJECT PREPARATION?

Project risks are managed and controlled

Optimally utilization of scarce implementation resources.

Projects are well conceptualized and planned.

Development is appropriately tailored to local needs and

is integrated in nature.

Funders can predict and manage their cash flows by

enhancing the predictability of project outcomes and

timeframes for implementation.
