Nepal MDGs Acceleration Framework Improving Access To Sanitation 2013
|
Over the past 11 years (2000-2011), the sanitation coverage has increased from 30 percent to 62 percent in Nepal. This figure states that the average annual growth rate of access to toilet is around three percent. The Government of Nepal has aimed to achieve the target of 80 percent of the sanitation coverage by 2015 and universal coverage by 2017. So, in order to achieve the target of providing universal access to sanitation to all by 2017, there is a need to increase the annual growth rate of toilet construction from existing three percent to six percent. Though, the national-level achievements in sanitation are found satisfactory, rural areas, Tarai and Far-Western development region along with Dalit and marginsliased families have poor access to sanitation. The rural sanitation coverage is also poor at below 55 percent. Similarly, 16 out of the 20 Tarai districts and the Far-Western development region have the sanitation coverage less than the national coverage. According to a study, among the marginalised families in the country, only four percent have access to sanitation while among the Madhesi Dalit families, only five percent have access to toilet. Similarly, less than 50 percent households across 25 out of 75 districts have sanitation coverage less than the national average.
