A central promise of Sustainable Development Goal 6 is to leave no one behind (LNOB) in terms of access to safely managed WASH services. As part of systems strengthening, particular attention must be paid to marginalized individuals and groups to understand what can be done to rectify exclusion and discrimination.

Listen to this five-minute podcast with Farai Tunhuma of UNICEF on who is being left behind and why in terms of access to WASH services. She also talks about measures that can be put in place to reach those left behind.

Farai Tunhuma works with UNICEF teams, governments and partners to shift the WASH sector into a low-carbon emitting and climate-resilient sector, delivering sustainable and climate-resilient WASH services. She is a UNICEF Senior Advisor on Water and Climate Resilient WASH.

This podcast was recorded for the online course 'Introducing water, sanitation and hygiene systems strengthening'.

WASH systems strengthening

Leaving no one behind

In July, the World Health Organization and UNICEF published the first assessment of drinking water and sanitation service under the sustainable development goals.

Circle of Blue reporter Brett Walton spoke with Catarina Fonseca, head of the international and innovation program at IRC, a water and sanitation organization, about the report's strengthens and weaknesses as well as the successes and failures that it documents. Fonseca notes that though more people have gained access to water in recent years, those gains are unevenly distributed.

"There has been progress, but the progress is not fast enough, especially on sanitation, to achieve the sustainable development goals," she says.
