It is key to all sustainable development goals and must be now recognised and regarded as such,\u201d he emphasized.<\/p>\n<p>According to the international convention on human rights, the state is now the acknowledged duty-bearer, responsible for ensuring access to water and sanitation for all.<\/p>\n<p>However, Bongay argued that YVE- Gambia Chapter and its working partners, all know that for everyone, everywhere to have water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services for good, people must feel empowered to hold leaders to account. He added governments also must feel responsible for realising their citizens\u2019 human rights.<\/p>\n<p>Kebba K Barrow, majority leader said the climate change has directly impacted water resources and water services for all economic, social and environmental functions that water supports and added the impacts reach into many sectoral interests such as health, tourism, agriculture and industry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWater-related climate risks arise from too much water, too little water or polluted water,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>The lawmaker further said as the global water cycle has been directly affected by climate change, people\u2019s access to safe water, sanitation and hygiene solutions can be significantly affected by extreme events such as floods and droughts, as well as growing water scarcity.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Buba Manjang, from the ministry of health said social accountability for a WASH secure future is essential to building and sustaining the political will to eliminate inequalities in WASH while equally championing the multi- stakeholder approaches towards achieving universal access in the effective delivery of WASH.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor good accountability in WASH projects and operations; politicians, policy-makers and WASH service providers must accept responsibility for their actions; give an account of why and how they have acted or failed to act,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/gambia\">Gambia<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Gambia.
