Target description

As of February 2026 no data available (UNICEF on Report Access to Clean Water)

Target Baseline

" 63% A 2024 World Bank Report says that 89% do not have access to safe drinking water"

Comment on Target

Meeting this target appears off target. Experts believe that because of the lack of functionality of majority of the water points and huge funding gap in the wash sector, it is practically impossible for 83% of Sierra Leoneans access safe and portable drinking water by 2028.
