UN-Water Global Annual Assessment of Sanitation and Drinking-Water (GLAAS): 2008 pilot report - Testing a new reporting approach

Overview

In this pilot report, UN-Water, through WHO as the agency in charge of developing the GLAAS report, is exploring a new way of presenting a global and all-round picture of the sanitation and drinking-water sectors that will complement the information provided by the WHO/UNICEF JMP reports and by the World Water Development Reports. The uniqueness of this new approach consists in attempting to bring all the pieces of the puzzle together, to see both what is happening in each area and how each of the pieces fi ts into the global picture.
