In this, our third strategy which runs from 2005 to 2010, we set out our ambitious plans to make a significant contribution to the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs).

These targets, agreed by all governments, aim to tackle world poverty through actions including halving the proportion of people without access to safe water and sanitation by 2015.

The strategy's five-year timeframe coincides with the first half of the UN International Decade for Action on Water, called 'Water for Life'.

This gives us an unprecedented opportunity to lobby for water, sanitation and hygiene for all in an international arena, giving more of the world's poorest people the chance of a better future.

How did we do? Catch up on Annual Reports for this strategy period to find out.
