About 350 million people in Africa have no access to clean water and sanitation. Only 26 countries were on track to meet their targeted Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) on water and six for sanitation. If we continue at this rate, we will meet the MDGs target for water in 2036 and the sanitation target in 2109. The World Health Organisation estimates that there are some 2,6-billion people worldwide who do not have adequate sanitation.
