Safe drinking water is not a luxury ; it is life - Interaction G8 NGO Coordination Group (Etats-Unis)

Recommendations

We urge the U.S. Executive branch to take a strong leadership role at the June 2009 G8 Summit and to call for immediate and invigorated action to address the global need for safe water and sanitation. We request these points to be included in the G8 communiqué :

1. The recognition that sanitation and safe water are fundamental to human dignity and integral to human development. The dire state of the sanitation sector, in particular, threatens all theMillenniumDevelopment Goals (MDGs) and particularly those in health and education.

2. The endorsement of and participation in the Global Framework for Action on Water and Sanitation, which includes a high-level annual review of progress of both donor and recipient government actions, analysis of systemic bottlenecks and remedial policies and action plans.

3. A commitment to encourage developing country governments to develop a national water and sanitation plan for their country.

4. A commitment that no credible national water and sanitation plan should fail through lack of finance.
