• SDGs require us to think differently
• WaterAid wanted to find out what could be learned from East Asia. What were the public policy drivers of countries that helped them to achieve Universal Access to Sanitation
• Not a question of seeking blueprints of success. But we started with the questions of “what can be learned from East Asia and is any of this useful for other states seeking to achieve the transformation required?”
[These two pictures show the same stream ( Cheong-Gae ) in Seoul in the 1960s and now. You can see the transformation from slum dwellings with unimproved sanitation. A big part of the story that we have found is that the changes in the built environment that you can see here are hard to separate from the sanitation story.]
Rapid and effective implementation of sanitation services was achieved by East Asian Tigers within a generation through high-level leadership, coordinated efforts, legislative reforms, and continual monitoring and adaptation. Lessons on political engagement, vision, and capacity building are highlighted for success in sanitation goals, as demonstrated by South Korea and Singapore.

Your function, first and foremost, is a function of a breaker of bottlenecks ... once a week, we have what I call morning prayers where all departmental officers get together and instead of writing tedious minutes on files to each other, they settle their departmental differences together, in a coordinated way, in front of the maps in their operations rooms. Deputy Prime Minister, Malaysia 1965 and 1966 www.wateraid.org
