Water and Sanitation - Projects

IETC's water and sanitation initiatives aim to improve sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation, thereby contributing to achieving the Millennium Development Goal and WSSD targets of halving the proportion of people lacking such access. IETC focuses on identifying suitable EST options; raising technical and institutional capacity to assess, introduce, and manage such options; supporting on-the-ground implementation on a pilot basis; and providing information to support implementation using electronic and other means.

The main initiative in water and sanitation is the Support for Environmental Management of the Iraqi Marshlands project, within the framework of the United Nations Trust Fund for Iraqi Reconstruction. The US$11 million project, funded by the Government of Japan, supports the sustainable management of the Iraqi Marshlands by facilitating strategy formulation, monitoring marsh conditions, raising capacity of Iraqi decision makers, and providing water, sanitation and wetland management EST options on a pilot basis. For more information on the project, please visit: http://marshlands.unep.or.jp.

In addition, IETC is currently developing other initiatives, including freshwater argmentation, water and wastewater management practices, and 4R conceptual platform.
