The human rights to water and sanitation in practice : findings and lessons learned from the work on equitable access to water and sanitation under the Protocol on Water and Health in the Pan-European Region

This publication capitalizes on the findings and lessons learned so far from the work on equitable access to water and sanitation under the UNECE / WHO Regional Office for Europe Protocol on Water and Health.

It features the experiences of eleven countries from the pan-European region that have established baseline measures of their situation with regard to equitable access to water and sanitation.

This was achieved through multi-stakeholders' self-assessment processes by looking at geographical disparities, specific barriers faced by vulnerable and marginalized groups, affordability concerns, as well as the governance framework.
