Introduction
Unsafe water and the lack of basic sanitation and adequate hygiene contribute
to the leading killers of children under five, including diarrhoeal diseases,
pneumonia and undernutrition, and have implications for whether children,
especially girls, attend school. This means that achieving Millennium
Development Goal 7 and its 2015 targets of reducing by half the proportion of
people without sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation
are of vital relevance for children and for improving nutrition, education and
women's status. Progress for Children: A Report Card on Water and Sanitation
will report on whether the world is on course to reach MDG 7 – and where
efforts are falling short.
