(b) Capacities should be built and institutional set ups improved in order to effectively manage land and water resources and protect biodiversity.

Global coverage figures on improved drinking water (see table 1) are likely to be lower than what is indicated because they do not include information on the quality of water of specific sources.

Similarly, health conditions are horrendous, but could be improved dramatically just with immunization, de worming, safe water, antibiotics, and anti malaria bed nets.

UNICEF will ensure that supported approaches in improved management of water resources equally benefit poor and disadvantaged communities and households, and that interventions do not in any way deteriorate the quality of the water environment.

In some countries, payment for environmental services, for example to owners of upstream forests or downstream wetlands, has led to improved management of water resources at relatively low cost.

These would require inter alia improved soil health, agro forestry, water management, rural infrastructure services such as roads and means of transport, modern energy services and basic communication technologies.

Part of Bhutan s GNH revolves, of course, around meeting basic needs improved health care, reduced maternal and child mortality, greater educational attainment, and better infrastructure, especially electricity, water, and sanitation.

Improved general practices

Improved prenatal care

Similarly, basic sanitation, such as improved hand washing and access to clean water, and better nutrition can also produce significant risk reduction, much of which can be achieved through simple education programs.
