The Global Analysis and Assessment of Sanitation and Drinking-Water (GLAAS) is a UN-Water initiative implemented by WHO. It monitors the implementation of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6, which is to ensure availability and sustainable management of water and sanitation for all. The GLAAS country survey is undertaken every two years to help countries identify policy, financing and human resources gaps and the means to address them towards the achievement of targets under SDG 6. Within the SDG monitoring framework, GLAAS is the instrument that collects information for SDG indicators 6.a.1 and 6.b.1. The GLAAS 2024/2025 cycle will cover the four key areas of water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) systems: governance, monitoring, human resources, and finance.
