| Summary: | A substantial increase in sector
financing will be necessary to achieve Sustainable
Development Goal 6 calling for universal access to safe
water and sanitation while addressing issues of water
quality and scarcity to balance the needs of households,
agriculture, industry, energy, and the environment over the
next 15 years. Recent estimates by the World Bank’s Water
and Sanitation Program (WSP) indicate that the present value
of the additional investment in WSS alone needed through
2030 will exceed US$1.7 trillion (Hutton & Varughese
2016). Existing funding falls far short of this amount;
countries may have to increase their investment in the water
and sanitation sectors by up to four times in order to meet
the SDGs. Where is Financing for the Water SDG Going to Come From? |
