Bruce Gordon and Oliver Subasinghe on the 2019 Global Analysis and Assessment of Sanitation and Drinking Water (GLAAS) Report

Earlier this year, Bruce and his team at the WHO collaborated with U.N. Water to release the 2019 Global Analysis and Assessment of Sanitation and Drinking Water (GLAAS) Report, an encyclopedic resource revealing the quality of water and sanitation performance around the world. In this year's edition, more than 100 countries were surveyed. Bruce shares key takeaways from this year's report with listeners and discusses some of the factors shaping countries’ progress—or lack thereof—when it comes to water and sanitation improvements. Adding a donor perspective, Oliver Subasinghe talks about how GLAAS report data help inform the Agency’s approach to WASH investments. Having trouble accessing this episode?
