(A) makes access to safe water and sanitation for
developing countries a specific policy objective of
United States foreign assistance programs;

of water and sanitation policy; and
(ii) improve the effectiveness of United
States assistance programs undertaken in
support of that strategy;
(C) codifies Target 10 of the United Nations
Millennium Development Goals; and

are unable to reach or afford safe drinking water and
basic sanitation by 50 percent by 2015.
(2) On December 20, 2006, the United Nations General
Assembly, in GA Resolution 61/192, declared 2008 as the
International Year of Sanitation, in recognition of the impact
of sanitation on public health, poverty reduction, economic and
social development, and the environment.
(3) On August 1, 2008, Congress passed H. Con. Res. 318,
which--
(A) supports the goals and ideals of the
International Year of Sanitation; and

public health, poverty reduction, economic and social
development, and the environment.

world lack access to safe drinking water; and
(B) 2 of every 5 people in the world do not have
access to basic sanitation services.

poor sanitation are staggering, accounting for--
(A) nearly 10 percent of the global burden of
disease; and

shortages by 2025.
(7) The impact of water scarcity on conflict and
instability is evident in many parts of the world, including
the Darfur region of Sudan, where demand for water resources
has contributed to armed conflict between nomadic ethnic groups
and local farming communities.
(8) In order to further the United States contribution to
safe water and sanitation efforts, it is necessary to--
(A) expand foreign assistance capacity to address
the challenges described in this section; and

foreign assistance deliberations, including
deliberations related to issues of global health, food
security, the environment, global warming, and maternal
and child mortality.
