Nairobi – The United Nations Children’s Fund is seeking $650m for sanitation in Ethiopia, where 35 million people are deprived of adequate hygiene, a Unicef statement says.
The African Development Bank, the World Bank and the UK Department for International Development (DFID) had pledged more than $50m for the project, but Unicef added that it was “still a far cry, however, from the estimated $650m required for universal coverage in Ethiopia”.
“Unicef calls on all donors to invest in achieving sustainable access to improved sanitation, which is essential for the realisation of human rights, health and dignity,” said Bjorn Ljungqvist, Unicef representative to Ethiopia.
Though more than 1.2 billion people worldwide had gained access to improved sanitation between 1990 and 2004, an estimated 2.6 billion people – including 980 million children – had yet to be reached.
