Goal 6: Clean water and sanitation

 en-sdg-goal-06.png.pngGoal 6: Ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all

The nationalized SDG 6 adopts a broad approach, as it tackles all critical aspects in the water sector. One of these includes the extended provision of safe and affordable water, and adequate and equitable sanitation for all (in particular, rural inhabitants, women and those in a vulnerable situation). The quality of water will be improved through minimization of the water pollution from industrial processes, increasing the efficiency of water use, recycling and safe reuse, and enhancement of the protection and restoring of water-related ecosystems (forests, wetlands, rivers, aquifers and lakes). Involvement of the local and regional communities in water management is of crucial importance when it comes to economic accessibility (through allocation of appropriate investment) and social justice of the rural inhabitants compared to more favoured urban dwellers. As the country’s own reserves of water are relatively small, Moldova will envisage implementing more sustainable integrated management processes in the water sector. In this regard, adequate international cooperation with the two neighbouring countries is very important.

Note:

* Nationalized targets, nationalized indicators and statistical data presented under this heading are taken from the Report "Nationalization of indicators for SDG" and Adapting the 2030 Agenda on Sustainable Development to the context of the Republic of Moldova elaborated by Expert-Grup in collaboration with the Government of the Republic of Moldova and UN Moldova in 2017 and presents the situation at that time. Currently, the next stage of revising the nationalized indicators is taking place, thus, some indicators can be revised or supplemented later.
