[full-text, 178 pages]
[excerpts]
This publication highlights the need for more work to be done on sanitation in Asia and the Pacific.
Focus and action must be directed at accurate data collection and management to support decision making,
appropriate and low-cost technologies, and the allocation of resources for the provision of sanitation. These
are but a few issues that need immediate attention and action.
...
Access to safer sanitation is on the rise in Asian cities. From 1990 to 2002, urban access to improved
sanitation increased by 366 million people. Many countries in Asia are expanding their sanitation coverage at
rates that surpass progress on drinking water, but often because they are starting from a low base. Access to
basic latrines alone eludes nearly 2 billion Asians, and lags far behind access to safe drinking water.
To reach truly respectable and humanitarian levels of sanitation coverage, urban planners, managers,
and decision makers need quality data that they currently do not have. Whatever data they have is typically
incomplete, distorted, and unreliable. Many utilities do not have reliable systems for data collection and
management. Better systems can help planners and managers formulate feasible targets and support the
planning and monitoring of the inputs, outputs, and processes that are essential to achieving those targets.
Reliable data would also help governments prioritize investments and reforms that support sustainable
sanitation and waste management.
