UN-Water Global Analysis and Assessment of Sanitation and Drinking-Water (GLAAS) strategy: 2023-2030

Date: November 2023



Abstract

The UN-Water Global Analysis and Assessment of Sanitation and Drinking Water (GLAAS) has been implemented by the World Health Organization (WHO) since 2008. After a successful pilot with seven countries in 2008, GLAAS has grown tremendously with 124 countries and 23 external support agencies (ESAs) participating in the GLAAS 2021/2022 cycle. Over the past 12 years, WHO published six global GLAAS reports on water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) systems, created the TrackFin methodology to develop WASH accounts, monitored the means of implementation targets for Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6, launched the GLAAS data portal and worked closely with partners at national, regional and global levels. GLAAS has become a go-to source for information on WASH systems and is able to collect, analyze and share data on WASH systems that are not easily accessible elsewhere. Partners and governments rely on the GLAAS process, data and analysis for their work. This strategy outlines WHO’s approach for monitoring WASH systems, including determining a set of key WASH systems indicators, and improving data use through 2030.
