WaterAid | Localising the Millennium Development Goals

Aiming to halve the proportion of people living without water or sanitation services by 2015.

The Millennium Development goals, agreed by all governments, include targets to halve the proportions of people without access to safe water and sanitation.

In areas where so few have access, achieving this can be a daunting task. But in Burkina Faso, WaterAid's new initiative of localising the targets is helping to focus work to reach those most in need.

Communities have helped to identify a set of prioritised actions for water, sanitation and hygiene, which are now being used by the 302 newly created local governments in rural areas and the 49 in urban areas.
