Post-2015 WASH targets and indicators A review from a Human Rights Perspective Flores, O. et al. (2013)

The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) will be built on the former Millennium Development Goals (MDGs), and they will converge with the post‐2015 agenda in one global development agenda beyond 2015. In the Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) sector, different consultations have been conducted in recent years, and of primary importance has been the process led by the WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme (JMP). It takes already existing monitoring mechanisms as starting point, and makes use of the principles underlying the human right to water and sanitation as guidance for the formulation of new targets and indicators. The aim of this work is twofold. First, it analyses the JMP post‐2015 WASH targets and indicators, from a human rights perspective. Second, the report focuses on challenges and recommendations for a local level implementation of this monitoring proposal. This research builds on a combination of relevant literature review and specific local experience from four case studies, namely the district of Kibondo (Tanzania), the districts of Homa Bay and Suba (Kenya), the municipality of Manhiça (Mozambique), and the municipality of San Sebastián de Yalı (Nicaragua). All these case studies have been implemented by IS.UPC in collaboration with ONGAWA, UNICEF Kenya Country Office, UN Habitat‐Mozambique and other local stakeholders.
