Improving Water and Sanitation Services in the EECCA Region: Targets and Monitoring Approaches

This document discusses the challenges and targets related to water and sanitation services in the EECCA region, particularly focusing on the MDG (Millennium Development Goals) and the need for improved monitoring. It highlights deteriorating water quality and inadequate wastewater management as significant risks to health and the environment. The text emphasizes the disparities in service provision between urban and rural areas and suggests a zero-tolerance approach to microbial failures. It also outlines the components of monitoring frameworks, proposing enhanced tools for sustainable service quality.

  1. Targets and indicators on Service performance

  2. Questions • Where are we in reaching the MDG 7/10? • Do we know where we are in reaching the MDG 7/10? • How can monitoring be improved? • How can the Protocol contribute to better target setting and monitoring?

  3. Reaching the MDGs…

  4. … Yerevan • Deteriorating water quality poses a serious health risk • Untreated wastewater poses a serious environmental risk • Unreliable water supply is an impediment to economic development and education • Utilities can not maintain the current systems, except in major cities

  5. Uniqueness of EECCA region • Highly developed urban systems and high network coverage in rural areas, cost of which are sometimes beyond current income levels • Until recently, declining provision and safety • MDG problems concentrated in Caucasus and Central Asia, particularly secondary cities and rural areas

  6. What matters … • Quality of water and sanitation services • Sustainability of the service • Disparities between rural, urban, peri-urban and rural areas

  7. Target components… • Access to water • Safety of the water provide … zero tolerance approach for microbial failure • Environmentalsoundness of sanitation

  8. Joint Monitoring Program • WHO OECD consultation May 2005 • Renewed JMP questionnaire including service quality • Data gathering ending 24 November 2005 includes service quality

  9. How can the Protocol contribute • Suggestion: • Declare zero tolerance to microbial failure as the ultimate goal for drinking-water quality • Based on the ongoing monitoring of JMP, develop a complementary region-specific monitoring tool • Consider a variety of tools to reach the targets

  10. Indicator criteria • JMP – technology based • EU monitoring strategy • ECOHEIS – ENHIS • National reporting systems • Mediterranean Action Plan • ISO
