Financing for the Realization of the Rights to Water and Sanitation 2011, para. 47
- Paragraph text
- Current funding patterns disproportionately target networked urban areas. Large systems in urban areas (e.g. wastewater treatment facilities and sewerage pipelines etc.) receive vastly larger sums than basic services in rural areas and deprived urban areas (e.g. latrines, boreholes and hand pumps). Currently, 62 per cent of all of the sectoral aid goes to developing large systems, while only 16 per cent goes to basic systems. This marks a near 10 per cent decline in funding basic services since 2003.

Service regulation and human rights to water and sanitation 2017, para. 85
- Paragraph text
- When administrative or national quasi-judicial mechanisms do not exist or are not able to successfully resolve a dispute, the right to an effective remedy requires that people whose rights to water and sanitation have been affected be able to turn to a court. A right of judicial review as a last resort is sometimes indispensable. In this context, it is critical that judicial systems uphold the justiciability of the human rights to water and sanitation in line with international human rights law.

The MDGs and the human rights to water and sanitation 2010, para. 11
- Paragraph text
- Within certain parameters, the Millennium Development Goals can be seen as complementing and contributing to national efforts to realize human rights. They might do this by bringing strengthened political commitment to the fulfilment of certain basic needs - including water and sanitation - protected under international human rights law, and by strengthening bilateral and multilateral partnerships within the framework of Goal 8, where needed. However, the Millennium Development Goal targets and indicators agreed at the global level reflect certain tensions and occasional inconsistencies with international human rights standards. Unless these problems are rectified, the result may be not only policy incoherence, but also Goal-based development strategies that may inadvertently violate international human rights standards.

- Paragraph text
- Further synergies between monitoring of the Millennium Development Goals and human rights monitoring will be critical for ensuring that development strategies based on the Goals are not targeted by default at the better-served populations for whom household data are more readily available (as distinct, for example, from informal settlements), thereby running the risk of entrenching existing inequalities. Strategies for the realization of access to water and sanitation should include targeted interventions, aiming at those who are most disadvantaged and harder to reach as a stepping stone towards universal service provision.

Human Rights Obligations Related to Non-State Service Provision in Water and Sanitation 2010, para. 19
- Paragraph text
- Generally speaking, the human rights obligations of States can be classified as obligations to respect, to protect and to fulfil. Obligations to respect require States to refrain from interfering with existing access. Obligations to protect take into account the role of third parties, requiring States to prevent such third parties from interfering with the enjoyment of human rights by others. Finally, obligations to fulfil call on States to adopt the necessary measures to enable and assist individuals to enjoy their human rights and to ensure direct provision as a last resort, when individuals are, for reasons beyond their control, unable to provide for themselves. States have to achieve the full realization of the rights to water and sanitation progressively. They are required to devote the maximum available resources and move towards it as expeditiously and effectively as possible, but do not have to achieve the full realization immediately.

Human Rights Obligations Related to Non-State Service Provision in Water and Sanitation 2010, para. 17
- Paragraph text
- The work of the Special Representative of the Secretary-General on the issue of human rights and transnational corporations and other business enterprises is especially relevant to the subject of this report as it is concerned with States' obligations and business responsibilities. In his 2008 report to the Human Rights Council, the Special Representative set out a three-part policy framework entitled "Protect, Respect and Remedy" (A/HRC/8/5). It consists of the States' obligation to protect against human rights abuses by third parties, the responsibility of companies to respect human rights, and the need for access to effective remedies and grievance mechanisms to address alleged human rights violations. The Human Rights Council welcomed the framework by consensus in its resolution 8/7. The Special Representative is now in the process of further operationalizing the framework. To some extent, the work of the independent expert builds on the framework and is aimed at contributing to its operationalization by applying it specifically to the provision of water and sanitation services.

Financing for the Realization of the Rights to Water and Sanitation 2011, para. 48
- Paragraph text
- Where large-scale systems are planned, it is important to investigate who benefits: do these investments improve services for those who already enjoy access, or do they expand coverage to those who lack it? Piped water systems generally offer the best quality water at the lowest cost per capita owing to economies of scale. These systems must, however, also be made available to those households which are unserved or under-served in peri-urban and informal settlements. At present, the benefits from large-scale systems largely go to middle and upper-income households, reinforcing discrimination and exacerbating disparities between rich and poor.

- Fragmentation can also be vertical, occurring not just between ministries, but also between national, subnational and local institutions. It often occurs in the context of decentralization when it is not coupled with a coherent national strategy or strong regulatory framework. Financing channels can often become convoluted, leading to costly overlap and duplication, and inconsistent standards across a country may be applied. The Special Rapporteur has commented on the overarching role of the central Government in ensuring the rights to water and sanitation in the context of decentralized arrangements for delivering these services, especially in her reports on her missions to Slovenia and the United States of America.

- There are several reasons for this, including poor targeting and monitoring as a result of a lack of data at both the international and national level and because donors prioritize certain recipient countries for geopolitical reasons. At the international level, most donors do not know specifically whom their resources are reaching or how they are being targeted. Only slightly more than one half of them indicate that they measure the impact of their aid on the poorest sectors of the population, many reporting that more than one half of their aid commitments to water and sanitation were to middle-income countries. Indeed, 7 of the top 10 recipient countries of aid for water and sanitation report levels of access to improved water and sanitation of more than 90 per cent. While aid to middle-income countries is important, it is crucial to ask whether these significant resources are reaching those who are most marginalized and disadvantaged or whether the funds go towards improving access for the relatively well off.

- Paragraph text
- Directing more resources towards operation and maintenance is essential for the long-term sustainability of efforts to realize the rights to water and sanitation. Seventy-five per cent of the current annual resource needs to achieve the Millennium Development Goal targets for water and sanitation are for replacing and maintaining existing resources. Unfortunately, despite progress in expanding coverage of water and sanitation services, there are clear signs of slippage, whereby communities that had received improved coverage fell into old patterns owing to poor maintenance. In India, for instance, roughly 30 per cent of all communities that had gained improved access to water and sanitation have since lost some or all of that coverage. Throughout Africa, it is estimated that, at any given moment, between 30 and 40 per cent of hand pumps are not functional. Comparatively little international aid currently goes to covering such expenses.

- The proliferation and sustainability of water and sanitation services depends not only on financing and constructing new facilities. States also have an obligation to educate communities about the hygienic use of water and sanitation services. Devoting resources towards educating communities about the use and benefits of water and sanitation and consulting with them about their specific needs have a number of benefits, including, inter alia, ensuring that the services are used correctly and in a manner that supports their long-term sustainability; improving local ownership, transparency and accountability; ensuring that facilities are acceptable and reflect the cultural needs of the community; and improving overall public health. Despite these benefits, most countries still have limited capacity to devote further resources to this area. International support also remains low, representing just 1 per cent of total aid to the sector in 2008.

Human Rights Obligations Related to Non-State Service Provision in Water and Sanitation 2010, para. 63m
- Paragraph text
- [The human rights framework does not call for any particular form of service provision. It is well established that, from a human rights perspective, States can opt to involve non-State actors in sanitation and water services provision. But the State cannot exempt itself from its human rights obligations and hence remains the primary duty-bearer. Therefore, also when involving other actors in services provision, the role of the State is crucial. The obligations of States and the responsibilities of non-State actors are complementary. The latter can and should support the State in the realization of human rights. In line with these conclusions, the independent expert offers the following recommendations:] To ensure accountability, States and other actors involved should clearly designate roles and responsibilities;

- Monitoring must be carried out by State institutions, but external actors should be able to examine critically public monitoring processes, reports and data sets, which requires full transparency regarding these processes. Civil society organizations and communities themselves should be involved in monitoring and evaluation activities related to their water and sanitation services. In some countries, such as Argentina and Portugal, regulatory institutions play a significant role in monitoring service provision, while in others, such as Colombia, Ecuador and Peru, national human rights institutions have developed extensive monitoring programmes regarding the realization of the right to water. Slum Dwellers International encourages data collection by local communities in order to ensure that data is accurate and relevant to the community.

- In Kenya, the Ministry of Water and Irrigation has been implementing reforms in the sector since 2004 based on the new Water Act of 2002, with the support of the German Agency for Technical Cooperation (now known as the German Agency for International Cooperation). The Ministry retains responsibility for policy formulation and sector coordination. It has delegated regulation, pro-poor financing, investment planning and development, and service provision to the Water Services Regulatory Board, the Water Services Trust Fund, Water Services Boards and water service providers, respectively. This institutional set-up is explicitly laid out in the Water Act and the clear designation of roles and responsibilities across the national, regional and local level provides the basis for accountable institutions.

- The realization of the rights to water and to sanitation should be considered from the outset, in the planning exercise that determines the general framework at the national level. Hence, coherent planning will require integration of the human rights to water and to sanitation into existing strategies that cover related policy fields and development more broadly. For instance, since the rights to water and to sanitation relate to all spheres of life, plans in the field of education or health should cover access to (sex-segregated) water and sanitation in schools and hospitals. Poverty reduction strategies and national development plans should also have specific action envisaged on water and sanitation.

Notably, its 2011 questionnaire also includes attention to human rights concerns. The Country Status Overview reports developed by the Water and Sanitation Program of the World Bank provide another tool for situational analysis and diagnosis at the country level.

- In terms of assessing inputs to the sectors, States should undertake a mapping of policies, programmes and activities already in place, determine what resources have been allocated, and identify the actors, including different service providers, involved. This includes assessing whether existing processes are non-discriminatory and participatory, and ensuring that accountability mechanisms are in place. Such a mapping should assess who is targeted by existing policies and which population groups might be left out. Where this review finds that existing policies or strategies do not fully address all dimensions of or are incompatible with the human rights to water and to sanitation, they need to be repealed, amended or changed to meet human rights requirements. Assessing the existing institutional and financial capacities helps to identify constraints, bottlenecks and weaknesses as well as successful interventions that drive the realization of the rights to water and to sanitation.

- In the context of water and sanitation specifically, a number of planning exercises are relevant, ranging from short- to long-term planning. Here, strategies are understood to set out the general framework, often covering development more broadly and setting the tone for policy development. Such strategies are longer term and should be in place before a plan of action is developed. In turn, action plans are based on these strategies. They cover only water and/or sanitation, and are more specific, short term and action oriented, including the detailed activities to implement the overall strategy. These are often developed at the national level.
