Issues in Sustainable Water Resources Management and Water Services in the Arab Region, Paperback / softback Book

Issues in Sustainable Water Resources Management and Water Services in the Arab Region Paperback / softback

Part of the ESCWA Series on Water development series

Paperback / softback

Description

The Arab Ministerial Water Council (AMWC) took the initiative to establish a regional monitoring mechanism for water and sanitation services that builds upon indicators globally monitored under the UNICEF-WHO Joint Monitoring Program (JMP), and tasked ESCWA to lead its development and implementation.

This regional initiative coincides in time, and reflects in context, the recent resolutions of the United Nations General Assembly and the Human Rights Council declaring the right to safe and clean drinking water and sanitation as a human right.

This development will in turn influence the orientation of the anticipated water and sanitation target that will be included in the post-2015 development agenda based on the Rio+20 outcome document, “The Future We Want.”
