Weak systems and funding gaps jeopardize drinking-water and sanitation in the world’s poorest countries
28 August 2019 | STOCKHOLM – The World Health Organization (WHO) and UN-Water today sounded the alarm for an urgent increase in investment in strong drinking-water and sanitation systems.

2019年8月25日至30日世界水周期间，国际水务界在斯德哥尔摩召开年会并在会上发出了这一呼吁。
The call came as the international water sector meets in Stockholm for its annual conference during World Water Week (25-30 August 2019).
It is triggered by a new report published by WHO on behalf of UN-Water that reveals that weak government systems and a lack of human resources and funds are jeopardizing the delivery of water and sanitation services in the world’s poorest countries – and undermining efforts to ensure health for all.
“Too many people lack access to reliable and safe drinking-water, toilets and hand-washing facilities, putting them at risk of deadly infections and threatening progress in public health,” says Dr Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus, WHO Director-General.

水和环卫系统不仅能改善健康和拯救生命，而且是建设更稳定、更安全和更繁荣社会的重要因素。
“Water and sanitation systems don’t just improve health and save lives, they are a critical part of building more stable, secure and prosperous societies.

我们呼吁所有缺乏基本水和环卫设施的国家为建设和维护这些设施提供资金和人力”。
We call on all countries that lack essential water and sanitation infrastructure to allocate funds and human resources to build and maintain it.”
