WSSCC-Water Supply Sanit Collab Council 2016-2020 - WSSCC-Water Supply Sanit Collab Council 2016-20 (New strategy 2018-2022) WSSCC-Water Supply Sanit Collab Council 2016-2020 Reprogrammed funds to address COVID-19
Reprogrammed funds to mitigate the impact of COVID-19
The WSSCC strives to contribute to Member States' efforts to achieve the new sustainability objective 6.2 for universal access to sanitation and hygiene. This includes ending the use of open defecation, giving people the opportunity to improve their sanitary situation by contributing to general access to sanitation and hygiene, and to enhancing human dignity. The WSSCC also intends to contribute to reducing social inequalities in connection with a lack of access to sanitation and hygiene (ie hand washing), which is believed to have positive effects on several of the other new sustainability goals (SDG). Objective 6.2 includes, for the WSSCC, the promotion of equal access to sanitation and hygiene among poor and socially marginalized communities, including the elderly and those with temporary or permanent disability. Promoting good menstrual health (by, for example, breaking the silence and taboo) will make important contributions to strengthening the opportunities for girls and women for health, education and work.

WSSCC strävar efter att bidra till medlemsstaters ansträngningar att f.f.a. uppnå det nya hållbarhetsmålet 6.2 för universell tillgång till sanitet och hygien. Detta innefattar att få slut på bruket av öppen defekation, att ge människor möjlighet att förbättra sin sanitära situation genom att bidra till allmän tillgång till sanitet och hygien, samt att förstärka människors värdighet. WSSCC avser också bidra till att minska sociala ojämlikheter i samband med brist på tillgång till sanitet och hygien (f.f.a. handtvätt), vilket bedöms få positiva effekter på flera av de övriga nya hållbarhetsmålen (SDG). Mål 6.2 innefattar för WSSCC's del att främja lika tillgång till sanitet och hygien bland fattiga och socialt marginaliserade befolkningsgrupper, inklusive äldre och personer med tillfällig eller permanent invaliditet. Främjande av god menstruationshälsa (genom att bla bryta tystnaden och tabun) kommer att utgöra viktiga bidrag till att stärka  flickors och kvinnors möjligheter till hälsa, utbildning och arbete. The overall objective of WSSCC during 2016-2020 is to support member states to achieve the Sustainable Development Goals related to hygiene, sanitation and water supply as well as for attaining the equity elements of the various SDG targets.The intended outcomes for 2016-2020 as formulated by the WSSCC for contributing to the SDG 6.2 for universal access to improved sanitation with focus on Open defecation Free status are to ensure that by 2020:
- 16 million people living in targeted administrative areas where Open Defecation Free (ODF) status has been verified using national systems;
- 16 million people that have access to and use of an improved sanitation facility; people have access to (and use) a handwashing facility with soap;
- 16 million people have access to (and use) a handwashing facility with soap and water...
