Agenda point 1: Updates in response to Kathmandu Declaration
Need of specific mention on commitment 10 with regard to the participation to the conference by
the direct voices
Indicated that while there is adequate mention on schools and institutions, there is no
mention/update on the WASH in health care facilities
Expressed that the first two commitments/indicators must receive higher weightage since the
proper implementation will depend so much on the availability of legal frameworks. However, it
was also clarified that the current indicators are developed through consultative process and agreed
by the member states
Agreed the need of having common indicators. Currently the indicators are understood differently
and reported in various forms
Expressed the importance of deepening the commitment/indicators developed during the earlier
conferences rather than coming up with new ones in the upcoming conference
While ODF achievements were reported, there is lack of mention on how to sustain it
All the member state representatives appreciated Bhutan for having the WASH sector under the
Ministry of Health
Expressed the importance of not only having the impact indicators but also of the process indicator
ICWG meeting is not just about updating and reporting the progress but more importantly the
platform to share experiences and learn from each other
Adequate mention on inclusion, people living with disability, elderly people and schools children
but the labourers and out of school children are the ones left out
WASH in Healthcare facilities needs to be adequately reflected and captured during the upcoming
SACOSAN
There is little mention of toilets in public places. All the member states are encouraged to assess
the situation and report to the conference
In Sri Lanka only about 5% of the population do not have access to toilet. These are mostly people
living in the coastal region and conflict areas. Reported that there is special team to assess the
situation and will share all the information in future. Sri Lanka expressed the difficulty and
challenges they face with the last section of the population in accessing the improved sanitation.
There was also discussion of the need for legal framework for the SACOSAN proceedings.
There is need for commitment from all the countries to inclusiveness.

Annexe 1.Refer details.
Agenda point 3: Sharing of JMP report 2015
A skype presentation by Mr.Rifat Hossain , WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme was presented to
the participants to showcase the progress made by individual countries and as a south Asian region. While
water supply MDG targets were made by almost all of the member countries, progress was not made in the
sanitation & hygiene MDG targets, except for Sri lanka,Pakistan and Maldives.
Annexe 3. Refer details.
Agenda point 4: 2016 SACOSAN VI Agenda
The SACOSAN VI Secretariat, led by the Bangladesh Country Focal Person presented the SACOSAN VI
agenda. With deliberations, the agenda was fine tuned in light of the developing situations in the member
countries. It was strongly felt that there was the need to bring the grassroots voices into the conference and
also to highlight the community based sanitation hygiene innovations from the member countries. India and
Nepalese delegations strongly supported this point to be included in the agenda and likewise, it was included
into the SACOSAN VI agenda.
Annexe 2. Refer details.
Agenda point 5: Next SACOSAN VII Host and 9th ICWG Meeting Host
The 9th ICWG meeting will be hosted by Bangladesh and was confirmed by the Bangladesh Country Focal
Person.Tentatively,Maldives country focal person agreed to host the 10th ICWG meeting in Male.
To host the SACOSAN VII, Bhutan and Pakistan were in queue to host the conference. However, Bhutan
expressed the financial constraints to host the conference. Further there was need to reduce the number of
participants to the conference due to single airport and logistical arrangements for the delegates, if Bhutan
was to host the conference. While WHO SEARO and UNICEF ROSA and other UN and CSO agencies agreed
in principal to support with funds for the conference, the final nod to host the conference will be made after
seeking formal approval from the RGoB.
Pakistan also showed interest to host the conference but due to various governmental protocols involved,
they needed more time before the confirmation of hosting the conference.Pakistan,CFP will confirm after
consulting the Pakistan government and will be informed to the SACOSAN Secretariat at the earliest.
It was agreed by all members that a final confirmation to host the SACOSAN VII will be made before the
SACOSAN VI and will be conveyed to the SACOSAN VI Secretariat before January 2016.

Agenda Point 6: Sustainable Development Goals
In transition phase to the SDG over the MDG,the member countries discussed the need to accommodate the
17 SDG goals into the SACOSAN VI agenda and also to take cognisance of the various goals and the current
existing goals on sanitation and hygiene. The indicators and monitoring framework to take up the SDGs
needed attention to detail and was agreed by all to give a thorough thought.
Proposed the need to link and frame the next conference declarations as the response to the
Sustainable Development Goals
Hygiene indicators are yet to be finalised during the Bangkok meeting in October 2015. As such,
there is still an opportunity for the member states to provide inputs
Expressed the need of having a regional monitoring framework

“-” = no data. “NA” = data not applicable “*”= due to lack of 1990 baseline, 1995 baseline was used to assess MDG target achievement
1 For communication purposes in its report, JMP reports display these proportions as rounded integers, which together add to 100% for drinking water and sanitation, respectively. For its database, available on the website (www.wssinfo.org), the JMP uses unrounded estimates to achieve greater accuracy when converting coverage estimates into numbers of people with or without access. Any discrepancies between the published estimates and those
derived from the JMP web site are due to the published estimates appearing rounded to the nearest integer.
2 Simple linear regression is used to estimate the proportion of the population using the following drinking water sources: piped water on premises; improved drinking water sources; surface water and sanitation facilities; improved types of sanitation facilities; open defecation. The remaining population uses unimproved drinking water sources and unimproved sanitation facilities, respectively.
3 Global MDG target applied to countries, territories and areas. Method of assessment: “Met target” if 2015 coverage
within 1 percentage point of target; “Good progress” if change in coverage between 1990 and 2015 exceeds 2/3 of target, “Moderate progress” if 1/3 to 2/3 and “Limited or no progress” if less than 1/3. Global and regional assessment: “Met target” if 2015 coverage equal to or greater than target.
