Ethekweni Declaration

AfricaSan+5 Conference


The Second African Conference on Sanitation and Hygiene—AfricaSan+5—was held in Durban, South Africa from February 18–21, 2008, with firm resolutions to place sanitation and hygiene at the top of the development agenda in Africa.

AfricaSan+5 follows on after the First AfricaSan Conference held in 2002 that helped to formulate a Millennium Development Goal (MDG) specifically for sanitation: to reduce, by half, the number of people without access to basic sanitation and hygiene by 2015. The Second AfricaSan Conference was the climax of a continent-wide process to assess progress, challenges, and lessons towards achieving the sanitation Millennium Development Goal (MDG).

At the conference Ministers signed the eThekwini Declaration and approved the AfricaSan Action Plan (http://www.wsp.org/wsp/sites/wsp.org/files/publications/eThekwiniAfricaSan.pdf)
