World Toilet Day

Report finds severe lack of access to water & sanitation for thousands in the Pacific

Released to coincide with World Toilet Day 2015, Unsettled: water and sanitation in urban settlement communities of the Pacific, highlights the reasons why thousands of families in Melanesia – Solomon Islands, Fiji, Vanuatu, and Papua New Guinea (PNG) – are unable to access basic water and sewage services.

The report makes a number of recommendations on how governments, utility providers, charities and donors can work together to improve access and affordability.
