Title: INTERAMERICAN WATER DAY

  • INTER-AMERICAN WATER DAY
  • IAWD - 2005

INTRODUCTION
  • International Decade for Action Water for Life,
    2005-20151
  • In September 2000, Millennium Summit ? 189
    Member States, including 147 Heads of State,
    adopted the Millennium Declaration giving rise to
    the Millennium Development Goals - MDG2
  • In November 2003, in Brasilia, High-level
    conference ? Brasilia Declaration, is a call
    for action and implementation that reinforces the
    principle of association inherent in the
    Millennium Declaration and in the agreements
    reached at former Summit Meeting of the Americas.

INTRODUCTION
  • In Latin America and the Caribbean (LAC) one in
    four people does not have access to water and
    sanitation
  • In the areas and communities of the Region most
    affected by inequities, -where the average is one
    in two people does not have access to water and
    sanitation

4
MILLENNIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS (MDG)
  • Erradicate extreme poverty and hunger.
  • Achieve universal primary education.
  • Promote gender equity and empower women.
  • Reduce child mortality.
  • Improve maternal health.
  • Combat HIV/AIDS, malaria, and other diseases.
  • Ensure environmental sustainability.
  • Target 10. Halve, by 2015, the proportion of
    people without sustainable access to safe
    drinking water and basic sanitation. (Indicator
    defined by JMP)
  • Target 11. By 2020, to have achieved a
    significant improvement in the lives of at least
    100 million slum-dwellers (Indicators defined by
    UN-HABITAT. Se prevé joint report with JMP)
  • Develop a global alliance for development.

5
MONITORING THE TARGETS
JMP 3, WHO and UNICEF, evaluates the process of
reaching Target 10 - MDG
  • JMP is based on household surveys and/or
    population census in the countries
  • When this type of data is not available does the
    JMPE use data from service providers in the
    countries
  • JMP uses indicators of access or coverage
  • Percentage of the population urban and rural
    using improved drinking water sources
  • Percentage of the population urban and rural
    using improved sanitation facilities

MONITORING THE TARGETS
Technological options in monitoring indicators
Target 10 MDG (JMP, 2004)
7
MONITORING THE TARGETS
  • According to the JMP
  • Drinking water is that used for domestic
    purposes, including water used for drinking and
    hygiene
  • If more than 30 minutes are needed for a round
    trip from a water source in rural areas
  • A lower quantity of water tends to be collected
    that the required for basic needs
  • The monitoring instruments in use do not consider
    neither the cost, continuity of the service, nor
    the quality of the water at the source or in the
    household.
  • Improved Drinking Water Sources may already be
    contaminated or, if there is no household
    connection or the service is not continuous,
    water may be contaminated during transport or
    inadequate household storage.

8
MONITORING THE TARGETS
  • The JMP recognizes that a better definition of
    sanitation should include aspects of
  • Good service,
  • privacy,
  • cleanliness and
  • Healthy settings.
  • The indicator does not take into account the
    disposal of sludge from septic tanks or effluents
    from sewerages, a risk to public health,
    ecosystems and peoples environment and their
    competitiveness in trade and tourism.
  • Other monitoring instruments are required to
    collect information on these aspects.

9
MONITORING THE TARGETS
  • Since 2003, the JMP has had an advisory group
    which includes academicians and experts in
    sectorial and monitoring aspects. In addition to
    its current functions, the JMP will work on
  • A report on drinking water and sanitation in
    marginal urban areas, with UN-HABITAT,
  • A report on the scale and impact of poor
    management of wastewater, with UNEP,
  • Strengthening the monitoring and evaluation
    capacities of the countries. This should
    contribute to identify overcome and the problems
    of equity and quality of the services, which are
    not detected during the global monitoring.

WATER FOR CHILDRENS LIFE
WHO Health, rather than absence of disease is a
state of psychic, physical, and social welfare
which enables human development
Consequently, infant mortality indicators are
valuable as long as they simultaneously reflect
improvements in other aspects affecting infant
health such as growth, neuro-psychic
development, and learning ability emotional
maturity and the ability to have a place in the
family and community among others 4.

WATER FOR LIFE AND FOR LIVING LIFELONG
  • Diarrhea is not the only water-related disease
    that limits childrens development.
  • Access to drinking water and sanitation services
    and improvements in hygiene practices helps to
    reduce health risk associated with parasites,
    such as schistosomiasis and helminthiasis.
  • A better integrated water resource management
    helps to reduce the risk of transmission of
    diseases associated with mosquitoes, such as
    malaria and dengue.

15
WATER FOR LIFE AND FOR LIVING LIFELONG
  • Millions of families in LAC pay the cost of not
    having access to adequate drinking water and
    sanitation services every day.
  • When they are ill, they cannot work and need
    care from other members of the family.
  • Collecting water involves waste of time and
    energy. This limits the quality of life and
    productivity, which generally affects women more
    than men.

MESAGE FROM THE UNITED NATIONS SECRETARY-GENERAL
AT THE OPENING OF DECADE WATER FOR LIFE
Water is essential for life. Yet many millions
of people around the world face water shortages.
Many millions of children die every year from
water-borne diseases. And drought regularly
afflicts some of the worlds poorest countries.
The world needs to respond much better. We need
to increase water efficiency, especially in
agriculture. We need to free women and girls
from the daily chore of hauling water, often over
great distances. We must involve them in
decision-making on water management.
We need to make SANITATION a priority. This
is where progress is lagging most. And we must
show that water resources need not be a source of
conflict. Instead, they can be a catalyst for
cooperation.
