Effectiveness of the Global Response- International Decade for Action ‘Water for Life’ Decade 2005-2015Water is considered as an integral component of the human life because of its contribution to personal consumption as well as sanitation practices. Every year, incorporation ofunsafe drinking water and improper sanitation facilities leads to the death of approximately 1.6 million children, who are less than 5 years of age. Considering the impact, Water for Life Decade was initiated in 2005 to facilitate the 1.1 billion people, who were deprived of safe drinking water by the time (UNICEF, 2015).The global response out of the proposed campaign helped the government in generating awareness about the optimum utilization of available water resolurces (Molden, 2013).Therefore, International Decade for Action “Water for Life” 2005-2015 was incorporatedin 2005 with an objective to justify the international commitment made on water and water-related issues in the United Nations Millennium Summit of September 2000. The orientation andglobal response of the projected campaign developed long-term sustainable management of the available water resources along with improvised sanitation facilities (Postel & Richter, 2012). Even more, UN-Water, which is an interagency of the United Nations, also participated on experiencing the global response of Water for Life decade by coordinating the Water for life Decade from 2005 to 2015 via organizing events such as World Water Day, World Toilet Day, Water for Life Logo Campaign and other educational campaigns to make people aware about thesafe drinking water and sanitation facilities (Postel, 2014).References
