UN Push to Meeting Sanitation Goals

In response to the UN/GA's adoption of resolution A/RES/65/153 calling upon UN member States to support the global effort to realize "Sustainable sanitation:: the five-year drive to 2015" by "redoubling efforts to close the sanitation gap through scaled-up ground-level action, supported by strong political will, increased community participation and improved hygiene;" UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon and others have launched the “Sustainable Sanitation: Five-Year Drive to 2015,” an initiative aimed to speed up progress on the Millennium Development Goal (MDG) target of halving, by 2015, the proportion of the population without sustainable access to basic sanitation.
