Senior Divisional EngineerDWSS

It is not only our sectoral goal but

One of the biggest cross cutting

issue to be solved which includes

economy, eradication of poverty

and livelihoods because of

tourism etc.

A dedicated goal on water & sanitation

GOAL 6: Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all 6 targets TARGET 6.1: By 2030, achieve universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water for ALL

TARGET 6.2: By 2030, achieve access to adequate and equitable sanitation and hygiene for ALL, and end open defecation, paying special attention to the needs of women and girls and those in vulnerable situations

Proposed indicators for 6.1 & 6.2

3 Priority indicators for global SDG reporting• Percentage of population using

safely managed drinking water services at home • Percentage of population using

safely managed sanitation services at home• Percentage of population with hand washing

facilities with soap and water at homePlus 15 supporting indicators proposed by JMP:

– Improved water, sanitation, other ladder rungs– WASH in schools, health facilities

Proposed National Indicators

The proposed targets for 2030 include 95 percent household with access to piped water

supply and improved sanitation, all communities free of Open Defecation, and all

urban households connected to sewage system.

Household connections are key to measure the indicator.

Challenges Post MDG in WASH

Reaching the Unreached

• Weak Database into Robust sectoral Information System

• Planning according to geography & Climate vulnerabilities ,promotion of Appropriate technology

• Subsidized cost, revisiting the rural policies on community contribution

• Social inclusion in planning and even in tariff(Equitable tariff approach ) regulated by government.

Sustainability

• Capacity in technical level on the part of project implementers and technical and managerial capacity in terms of water user committee.

• Climate change & Disaster Risk vulnerabilities• If water is an economic good why not economize it?

Inclusive planning concept • Enforcement of Regulation• New Avenues(NRW, Demand Management etc.)

Risk Based planning & DRR approach

2 years ago we asked 50 million NRS for far-western flood related

reconstruction ,1 year ago we asked 200 million NRS for mid western flood

reconstruction and this year we are asking 18.1 billion for earthquake

related reconstruction

Role Segregation

DWSS/MOUD• Regulation• Facilitation• Formulation of National Strategy ,plans and revision

according to need• Capacity building of Utilities, User committee, Local

government • Medium and high level projects• Urban Sanitation Facilities(Waste treatment )

Role Segregation

Local Government• Formulation and implementation of Programs• Monitoring of Utilities/User committee (For basic

service)• Co-ordination between the agencies involved inside

local government• Formulation of local plan and strategies• Rural Sanitation Facilities ( Small scale solid and

waste water both)

Role Segregation

Water utilities and WUSC• There should be clear set of indicators to divide

the operational Mechanism (Utility/Board/Private/WUSC/NWSC)

• Inclusive(Tariff, Service etc. ) distribution of WASH facilities within the guidelines /strategy of Local /National Government.

Role Segregation

INGO/NGO/DP• Partnership in Capacity building Local/National level• Partnership in Strategy building Local/National level• Funds and resources

Conclusion

• Building the capacity• Data Management• Sustainability and Resilience• Inclusion and Equity • Regulation and standardization• Clear working area/roles and

responsibility• Action plan
