Safely Managed Drinking Water - UNICEF Report
Published on by Sean Furey, Water & Sanitation Specialist at Skat Consulting in Government
The WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme (JMP) for Water Supply and Sanitation is responsible for global monitoring of progress towards the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) targets WASH.
This JMP 2017 Thematic Report on Safely Managed Drinking Water considers the implications of SDG target 6.1, ‘By 2030, achieve universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water for all’ and outlines JMP plans for enhanced monitoring of drinking water in the SDG era.
The first section of the report examines the SDG vision for universal access and the specific language used in the formulation of global targets.
New ‘ladders’ for monitoring drinking water services at home, at school and in health facilities are presented, together with proposals for enhanced monitoring of inequalities and affordability.
The second section examines the availability of data on the different elements of ‘safely managed drinking water services’ and discusses the challenges associated with combining data from different sources in order to track the progressive elimination of inequalities and global progress towards SDG target 6.1.

I was happy when I first saw that water quality is being better integrated as part of the SDGs. What I see as a big challenge is not just the water quality monitoring systems, but also the mechanisms for service providers to do something about water quality problems that are identified.

I have new innovative technological solution for drinking water saveing systems from invisible leakage and contamination control system for each house holds and other tap water users.
the technological solution is new in the field and also the global water sector.
Now at a time I can manufacture prototype and also finishing pilot test by domestic regions level with best results.
So I. need financial support and global partnership for my project?
Many Thanks!
