| description | <p class="first" id="d210929e212">To better leverage opportunities arising out of sustainable and inclusive management
of sanitation services there is a need for robust and comprehensive evidence of the
wide-ranging benefits that sanitation can deliver. The Sustainable Development Goals
(SDGs) provide a comprehensive framework for sustainable development broken down into
169 interconnected Targets which are articulated under 17 Goals. Based on a methodology
developed at University College London (UCL), this study identifies linkages between
sanitation and the 169 Targets corroborated by published evidence. We show that there
are synergies between sanitation and all 17 Goals and 130 (77%) of the Targets, and
trade-offs for 28 (17%) of the Targets. We identified 83 Targets (49%) that call for
action in the sanitation sector. The results demonstrate the far-reaching benefits
that can be unlocked from investment in sanitation, which extend beyond health and
spread across sectors. The evidence base for the 17 Goals establishes links that can
inform cross-sectoral action, collaborations and investment across governance levels
for integrated sanitation solutions. The research provides different stakeholders
with a framework that can be applied to context-specific cases and projects. We propose
a range of recommendations to policy makers, practitioners and researchers who seek
to take this study further to help achieve the SDGs.
