JMPs Updated Progress on Water and Sanitation MDGs (2013)



Dear all,

The World Health Organisation will officially release a 2013 updated version of the Progress of Sanitation and Drinking Water this September.

This update presents country, regional and global estimates for the year 2011. Since the JMP 2012 update, which presented 2010 estimates, results of 230 surveys have been added to the JMP data base bringing the total number of surveys in the JMP data base close to 1,700. As is to be expected from an annual update, the global estimates hardly change. Drinking-water coverage in 2011 remains at 89% - which is one per cent above the MDG drinking-water target. In 2011, 768 million people relied on unimproved drinking-water sources.

The book officially releases this September; but Stylus Publishing is accepting pre-orders for those interested in purchasing and/or writing book reviews.

You can find an update of the book here: apps.who.int/iris/bitstream/10665/81245/1/9789241505390_eng.pdf
