Description:

Laskowski. This course will focus on the governance and finance issues surrounding the efforts to meet the UN Millennium Goal [MDG] for water supply and sanitation. Every twenty seconds someone in the world, usually a child, dies from a water-related problem. The MDG aims to halve the percentage of the world's population without access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation". Inadequate organization, corruption, poor educational systems are some of the critical barriers relating to good governance. Finding sufficient funding, promoting public-private partnerships, and establishing needed legal/financial systems are some of the financial challenges. Using case studies, guest speakers, and the latest information available this course will provide insights to students on how to address these issues.
