Water and Sanitation Trust Fund Annual Report 2006 |
|
Meeting the challenge of halving the number of people who lack access to safe
water and adequate sanitation by 2015 will take a concerted effort and a great
deal of determination and commitment. It will require the unprecedented
generosity and compassion of the international community, diligent and
professional commitment application by all stakeholders in the water and
sanitation sector and the consistent and unwavering political goodwill of
governments, particularly those in the developing world. The inclusion of the
poor by creating in them a sense of ownership will be imperative in devising
appropriate and sustainable solutions.

Business Partnership for Sustainable Urbanisation 13-14 April: Proceedings of first stakeholders' meeting |
|
This first Stakeholders meeting is important for UN-HABITAT because it opens a new door to strengthen our relations and work further with the private sector. At the dawn of new the urban age, with half of humanity now living in towns and cities around the world, it is more important than ever that we keep this door open. I wish to recall here the wide ranging reform of the United Nations started by our former Secretary General, Mr. Kofi Annan. One important part of this process is the opening of the United Nations to non-state actors, including business and civil society, as essential partners for change.
