“Through the looking GLAAS" adapted from Federico Properzi Peregrine Swann Project Manager Senior Adviser properzif@who.intswannp@who.int WHO GLAAS Team
Context and content of presentation • Data from first UN-Water GLAAS report – launched 21 April 2010 • Report includes data from a large number of conventional donors and from 42 developing countries • ODA data from OECD • WHO GLAAS team worked closely with World Bank WSP team that is preparing the Country Status Overviews for 32 African countries • Strong collaboration between UN-Water GLAAS and WSP-CSO • Presentation looks at: • Impact of poor sanitation and unsafe water • Targeting of resources • Who's providing the external resources? • Who's receiving ODA? • Who's not receiving ODA? • Are resources focused on the poor and the un-served? • What is happening at the country level
Outline • Impact • Priorities • Targeting • Capacities • Partnerships • Highlights
1. Impact of poor sanitationand unsafe water HEALTH • 2.2 million preventable deaths of children • Diarrhoea the second leading contributor to global disease burden • For children under 15, impact of diarrhoea greater than that of HIV/AIDS, malaria and TB combined • Overall around 9% of the global burden of disease attributable to poor sanitation and unsafe water EDUCATION • 11% increase in girls attendance in Bangladesh – UNICEF study • Evidence of increased learning performance when worm infections reduced ECONOMY • $ economic benefits of many times the $ invested • World Bank estimate between 2% and 7% of GDP lost through poor sanitation and unsafe water in developing countries
1. Impact of poor sanitationand unsafe water Source: Safer Water, Better Health WHO, 2008
2. PrioritiesAid for health and education has outpaced aid for sanitation and drinking-water
2. PrioritiesDeveloping countries report insufficient funds to meet the sanitation and water MDG target
UN-Water GLAAS 2010 ReportRecommendation No. 1 Greater political commitment to sanitation and drinking-water by donors and developing country governments
3. TargetingGlobal trends of WASH aid Aid flows for basic water and sanitation remained relatively constant at US$ 1.1 billion, and aid flows for large systems increased from US$ 2.6 billion to US$ 4.3 billion from 2000 to 2008
UN-Water GLAAS 2010 ReportRecommendation No. 2 Target resources better to reach the sanitation and drinking-water MDG Target
4. CapacitiesInstitutional roles and responsibilities need to be better defined and operationalized
4. CapacitiesInvestment programmes in sanitation are lagging behind
4. CapacitiesStaff shortages primarily due toinadequate budgets
UN-Water GLAAS 2010 ReportRecommendation No. 3 Strengthen national systems to plan, implement and monitor delivery of services
5. PartnershipsProcedures to promote local stakeholder participation are weak
5. PartnershipsMost aid recipients have a multitude of donors disbursing funds
5. PartnershipsAid disbursements generally follow commitment levels
UN-Water GLAAS 2010 ReportRecommendation No. 4 Stronger partnerships to develop and implement national sanitation and drinking-water plans
6. Highlights Donors • WASH aid increased between 2000 and 2008: by over 150% to Africa and over 50% globally • Over the same period, WASH aid reduced as a % of overall aid (from approx 6.3% to 4.7%) • 42% of aid targeted to LICs (plus some regional aid) • Top 12 priority recipients receive 50% of WASH aid • ODA for basic services declined from 27% to 16% over the last five years • Donors targeted 37% of WASH aid to sanitation against 63% to water • Predictability of donor funding as perceived by GLAAS countries increasing
6. Highlights Developing countries • Most countries developed national MDG targets but financial flows to WASH insufficient to meet these national MDG targets in many countries • Governments spend 20% of WASH funds on sanitation (median figure) • Only one third of countries implement criteria for targeting resources to the poor for water and hardly any for sanitation • Most countries have developed WASH policies but only one half have clearly defined and operationalized roles for WASH institutions • Most countries are developing some kind of HRD plan, but many HR obstacles are cited • Most countries have an annual review process but few update according to recommendations made by previous reviews • Around one third of sub-areas (urban/rural water/sanitation) utilize over 75% of donor commitments, but 20% utilize less than 50% • Local participation in planning and implementation of programmes not consistently applied in any of the four sub-areas
