  There are an estimated 2.6 billion people who remain without proper sanitation facilities worldwide. To achieve the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) target to halve the proportion of people without access to basic sanitation by 2015, the UN General Assembly has declared 2008 the International Year of Sanitation.

With the purpose of accelerating the progress on sanitation issues, members of the global community need to openly discuss pertinent issues, implement new policies and achieve measurable targets. United Nations agencies, regional and international organisations, civil society groups and other relevant stakeholders from all countries, have important and functional roles to play in relieving the world of this silent humanitarian crisis.

In support of the United Nations International Year of Sanitation, World Toilet Organization presents two action-led events, which focus on providing the impetus for sustainable sanitation. A creative solution is to drive the paradigm shift required to tap on the emerging market at the ‘bottom of the pyramid’ that will empower more people to gain access to proper sanitation.

Be part of the community that is helping to steer sanitation on track towards achieving the Millennium Development Goal for Sanitation and participate in the World Toilet Summit & Expo.
