The main objectives of the programme are to:
- Develop norms, standards and management tools for the water and sanitation sector
- Promote pro-poor investment
- Provide strategic support to pro-poor water and sanitation initiatives
- Monitor the progress towards the achievement of Millennium Development Goal and World Summit of Sustainable Development targets relating to water and sanitation
UN-HABITAT’s strategy for achieving these objectives is four fold. A start-up phase focusing on incorporating knowledge sharing, awareness raising and information exchange will be followed by a consultation and formulation phase to engage national and local stakeholders. An implementation and investment phase for programme roll out at the city level will be followed by a consolidation and dissemination phase for anchoring enhanced capacity at city and regional levels through information dissemination and knowledge sharing.
