| Summary: | This policy note outlines key challenges
and identifies specific recommendations for improved,
inclusive, and sustainable development of Ukraine’s water
supply and sanitation (WSS) sector, which is important for
the health and well-being of the country’s people, the
economy, and the environment. Water touches every aspect of
development and is linked with nearly every Sustainable
Development Goal (SDG). The issues facing the water sector,
if not addressed, will affect other development agendas in
Ukraine, such as food and energy security, jobs, equal
access to services, and social inclusion, as well as
adaptation to and mitigation of climate change. Like many
other countries, the ongoing Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic
has affected Ukraine by exacerbating problems in poor
performing sectors and increasing inequalities by driving
people into poverty. The situation calls for integrated
solutions to reverse that impact through greener, more
resilient, and inclusive sustainable development. This WSS
Policy Note aims to outline key challenges in the Ukrainian
WSS sector and to recommend needed reforms toward
sustainable WSS service provision to policy makers. |
