Assessment warns of reduced aid for water and sanitation projects

摘要

The latest UN-Water Global Annual Assessment of Sanitation and Drinking-Water (GLAAS) report, launched recently by UN-Water and the World Health Organization (WHO), warns that aid for water and sanitation purposes has significantly fallen over the past decade.rnBetween 1997 and 2008, aid commitments for sanitation and water fell from 8% of total development aid to 5%, lower than commitments for health, education, transport, energy and agriculture, the report says.
