A FLUID RIGHT - Campaign to make Water and Sanitation a RIGHT

Dear All

See the comments made on the A FLUID RIGHT - Campaign to make water and sanitation a right gathers momentum, an article published in Down to Earth (read more at http://www.downtoearth.org.in/) as:

Yes, as mention in 'A fluid right' (DTE, 15th March 2013), access for water and sanitation should be a RIGHT. Though several rights exists for several other critical human needs, still, the commitment for the implementation with effective service delivery system is not matching to reach the people. In this direction, it appears required resources are available but not accessible and affordable by the larger groups. As a solution, one should look for the concept of 3As which stands for Availability, Accessibility and Affordability where the improved 3As can help for need based service delivery systems.

To move forward, the change agents should look for:

$ work for access for water & sanitation as a right,
$ improve 3As,
$ simplify the process with better accountable, &
   transparent service delivery system,
$ empower the community for making the change,
$ look for sustainability with quality.

Certainly, these measures will improve the 3As in respect of Water & Sanitation and further contribute for the development with better sustainability and quality of life.

 Looking forward.....

All the best.
