The Millennium Development Goal targets for clean water in sub-Saharan Africa were not met by the 2015 deadline. Between 2015 and 2018, DFID supported 17.5 million people in Africa to access clean water and/or better sanitation. For example, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo, over 2.7 million people gained access to clean water with DFID\u2019s support between 2015 and 2018. In Ethiopia, DFID supported 1.9 million people to access clean water and/or better sanitation.<\/p>

The Compact also contains important commitments and actions to help us tackle human trafficking and people smuggling.<\/p> Moreover, our aim is to use the Compact to further our Migration priorities within multilateral fora. This includes: reducing modern slavery; upholding migrant\u2019s human rights; and addressing irregular migration through improved border management and safer and more productive legal migration.<\/p> We remain committed to working closely with European and Global partners to build on the momentum we have gathered thus far to ensure effective implementation of the Compact.<\/p> We look forward to the formal launch of the Compact in Marrakech this December.<\/p>"}
