Title
WHO - Regional and Global Costs of Attaining the Water Supply and Sanitation Target of the Millennium Development Goals

Abstract
This study presents regional and global estimates of the cost of attaining the water and sanitation MDG target. Improved water and sanitation coverage data for 1990 and 2004 are used to estimate the population to be covered to attain the MDG target, taking into account population growth until 2015. The targeted population is assumed to receive improved water and sanitation in equal annual increments from the beginning of 2005 (the base year) until the end of 2014. Investment and recurrent costs per capita are applied to the target population. Country data are aggregated to 11 World Health Organization (WHO) developing country subregions and globally.
