Improving water resources development and management is a critical factor for meeting the MDG’s, not only specifically Target 10 (Halve, by 2015, the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water and sanitation), but also the broader goals of eradicating extreme poverty and hunger, achieving universal primary education, promoting gender equality and women’s empowerment, reducing child mortality, improving maternal health, combating major disease, and improving environmental sustainability. Therefore, efforts to achieve the MDG’s must involve planning and action in water resources development, management and use, both in order to meet the MDG’s Target 10 and to meet the MDG’s as a whole.

Joint Monitoring Programme (JMP): WHO and UNICEF
During the International drinking-water Supply and Sanitation Decade 1981-1990, the UN mandated WHO to report on progress in access to water-supply and sanitation services. By the end of the decade, it was recognized that a better system was needed to monitor progress at the country level, ideally one that could be used as a management tool for monitoring and influencing sector development. As a result, WHO and UNICEF, launched the Joint Monitoring Programme for Water Supply and Sanitation (JMP) in 1990.
The WHO/UNICEF JMP for Water Supply and Sanitation is the official United Nations mechanism tasked with monitoring progress towards the drinking water and sanitation MDG. In fulfilling this mandate, the JMP publishes updated estimates every two years on the use of various types of drinking-water sources and sanitation facilities at the national, regional and global levels.
The 2010 Report can be downloaded here. The country files that include all data used in the report estimates is available here.
