The WAC Programme is supporting the implementation of the water and sanitation related Millennium Development Goals and targets (MDGs) in Asian cities, specifically promoting pro-poor governance, water demand management, increased attention to environmental sanitation; and income generation for the poor linked to water supply and sanitation.
The programme seeks to achieve this by mobilizing political will, raising awareness through advocacy, information and education; training and capacity building; by promoting new investments in the urban water and sanitation sector; and by systematic monitoring of progress towards MDGs.
In order to pursue the MDG target 10 of reducing the population without sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation to half by 2015, UN-HABITAT under WAC Programme is developing approaches for making interventions at city/local levels, to extend coverage to unserved households with higher levels of sustainability. It is, therefore, promoting pro-poor water and sanitation governance policies and programmes both at local, sub-national and national levels. The overriding thrust of WAC Programme is to enhance capacity at city, country and regional levels and to create an enabling #SustainableWater #environment for new flows of investments in the urban water and sanitation sector, with a view to meet the water and sanitation related MDGs in Asian Cities.
