The aim is to influence major coherent changes in the sector, to commit government, donor agencies and other sanitation stakeholders to take concrete, implementable and quantifiable decisions on environmental sanitation management.
Promoting Environmental Sanitation
Seek to persuade Government to make further enhanced commitments for promoting environmental sanitation and to identify practically appropriate means to implement existing commitments and new sustainable initiatives in the sector.
Need For Sanitation Goal
Emphasise the need for a dedicated national sanitation goal that would contribute meaningfully to the achievement of a universal access to environmental sanitation services by 2030 in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG) initiative. Emphasis shall be placed on efficient waste management services countrywide.
