Water Supply And Sanitation
Water Supply and Sanitation is directly related to the main themes on the development agenda -- poverty reduction, environmental sustainability, private sector-led growth, participatory development, and good governance. Because water is so essential to life, and because over one billion people still lack access to safe water, nearly two billion lack safe sanitation, and more than three million people still die every year from avoidable water-related disease, the World Bank Group strives to help its member countries to ensure that everyone has access to efficient, responsive, and sustainable water and sanitation services. In helping our member countries rise to meet this challenge, we seek to foster approaches that are people-centered, market-based, and earth-friendly.
