In 2012, 89% of the global population used an improved source of drinking water, and 64% used an improved sanitation facility. One hundred and sixteen countries have already met the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) drinking water target, and 77 have already met the MDG sanitation target. Even though progress towards the MDG target represents important gains in access for billions of people around the world, it has been uneven. Sharp geographic, sociocultural and economic inequalities in access persist and sometimes have increased. This report presents examples of unequal progress among marginalized and vulnerable groups.
