Sanitation progress slows to a crawl amid pandemic
By: Fiona Broom
Progress towards universal access to handwashing facilities has slowed in communities from Latin America to Sub-Saharan Africa amid the pandemic, data analysis reveals.
Minor sanitation improvements have been seen in some parts of Asia Pacific, but the most vulnerable families living in camps for displaced people and refugees have had to rely on emergency support.
The findings come from aSciDev.Netdata analysis of the availability of handwashing facilities in schools, hospitals, camps and homes around the world.
“在过去的十年中，面对我们面临的挑战，获得卫生和饮用水的机会非常胆怯。”
Trata巴西研究所执行总裁Edison Carlos
“流感大流行已经阐明一个嘘oric problem,” Edison Carlos, executive president of the Trata Brazil Institute, a civil society organisation that monitors sanitation and water resources,告诉SciDev.Net。“In the past decade, access to sanitation and drinking water has advanced very timidly in the face of the challenge we have [in Brazil].”
Analysis shows that there has been some improvement in sanitation access since the beginning of the pandemic – albeit at a slow pace. According to the UN children’s agency UNICEF, 82 per cent of Brazilians had access to safe water sources in 2015, increasing slightly to 86 per cent in 2020.
卡洛斯说，随着199年19日的蔓延，公共压力和快速行动的需求促使巴西的水公司切断繁文tape节，并在受到限制的地区提供紧急接入水。
“The public water companies installed pipe systems and donated tanker trucks to the poorest communities, installed laundries for the street population and negotiated the water billing debt. But these were emergency actions, not structural ones,” he said.
结合点UNICEF and World Health Organization reportshows that between 2015 and 2020, the global population with safely managed sanitation services grew from 47 per cent to 54 per cent, and handwashing facilities with soap and water increased from 67 per cent to 71 per cent.
In South Asia, the rate of improvement in basic handwashing practices between 2015 and 2020 was highest in Bangladesh, at 3.33 per cent. This was followed by Pakistan with 3.15 per cent, Nepal with 1.37 per cent and India with 0.10 per cent.
但是，全球大流行使洗手的好处变成了鲜明的救济。根据水，卫生和卫生总裁尼古拉斯·奥斯伯特（Nicolas Osbert）的说法，已经发现简单的用肥皂和水洗手可以有效防止Covid-19的传播以及其他导致腹泻疾病和呼吸系统疾病的病原体。在印度联合国儿童基金会的计划。
他说：“洗手的另一个好处是，它有助于防止由于抗生素的使用减少而导致微生物抗性的发展。”
随着大流行的升级，对洗手目的的水需求增加了。但是数据表明，在2020年，three in every ten people全世界无法在家里正确洗手。
在阿拉伯地区，超过7400万由于无法获得洗手设施，人们处于危险之中。对于某些社区而言，用水量的增加是有害的：在阿尔及利亚，随着COVID-19案例数量的增加，供水增加，造成了严重的缺水。
In Jordan, one of the most water-stressed countries in the region with the highest refugee population, international agencies have focused on developing water facilities. UNICEF said they helped around 1.75 million children and their families gain access to water sanitation facilities during the pandemic.
“Despite this slight improvement, there is still a lot that needs to be done quickly, especially in conflict countries that are facing funding crises and weaknesses in their health systems,” Amgad El Kholy, a medical epidemiologist at the WHO Eastern Mediterranean office,告诉SciDev.Net。
在撒哈拉以南非洲，某些医疗机构和学校以及家庭一级仍缺乏安全水的机会。但是，由于该地区许多国家的持续存在数据差距，卫生问题的真实程度仍然隐藏2020联合国儿童基金会报告。
“我们仍然不知道COVID-19对该地区WASH的影响的全部程度，因为这是一种不断发展的局势，”联合国儿童基金会东部和南部非洲的顾问Samuel Godfrey，告诉SciDev.Net。
更多的than half of the world’s children who lacked hygiene facilities at their schools in 2019 were in Sub-Saharan Africa, according to the 2020 report. It found that most schools in Sub-Saharan Africa did not use piped water, but relied on other types of “improved sources”, including boreholes or rainwater.
The cost of piped water for rural households in Kenya is about eight times that of an urban household, according to the Kenya Water for Health Organization.
Rachael McDonnell, deputy director general for the International Water Management Institute, agrees that data is crucial for progress on sanitation. “Credible and timely data are essential to the realisation of the Sustainable Development Goals, as they help decision-makers to identify countries, people and sectors that are left behind, and set priorities for increased efforts and investments,” she said.
