The sanitary facilities are highest in major cities (98% to 92%) and substantially reduces in rural areas (42%). 20 Districts of Punjab have lesser than 58% sanitation coverage with 8 Districts fall below 40% coverage line. Only 43% Population has proper disposal of waste water (26% in rural communities only.) 15% of Provincial population avails the facility of proper solid waste management facilities.

Major Challenges RESOURCE CONSTRAINTS- This sector has suffered significantly from under-investment. In urban areas the sewerage systems laid down decades ago and needs comprehensive replacement for smooth functioning. CAPACITY CONSTRAINTS- there are serious capacity constraints in the departments particularly in TMAs/District Governments. Resultantly PLGO 2001 is not achieving the targets as envisaged. SUSTAINABILITY OF COMPLETED SCHEMES – Currently over 3000 schemes in PHED are not functioning leading to wastage of billions of investment already made. There is a need to devise a mechanism of ensuring the sustained operation of the completed schemes particularly in the Rural Communities.
Major Challenges LACK OF COORDINATED PLANNING Different agencies are being involved in the sanitation process (TMAs, PHED, LG&CD, NGOs etc). However there is no coordinated approach in each formation is working in isolation. Thus there is a need to coordinate and comprehensive master planning to achieve the desired targets. LACK OF INFRASTRUCTURE MAPPING -Considerable efforts are needed to build the capacity to map, plan and manage infrastructure, interface with communities and the private sector and draw on their resources. RESISTANCE FROM SECTOR INSTITUTIONS- Shift from a ‘supply driven’ approach to focus on demand driven inevitably involve some resistance from Sector institutions which are reluctant to implement the new concept.
Major Challenges The main challenge will be to bring about a change in incentive structures which will allow a reform of these institutions ensuring greater transparency and accountability towards a more streamlined and regulatory role. INADEQUATE SOLID AND LIQUID WASTE MANAGEMENT particularly in Rural and Small Towns. District Government/TMAs need to be appropriately technically and financially strengthened to boost up this neglected areas. LACK OF REFORMS IN WASAs-To bring about cultural changes in the WASAs and make them more performance focused and to improve interfaces with customers. There is a need to have a comprehensive reform in WASAs to make them service delivery agencies. (Performance oriented structure) LACK OF USE OF CCB FUNDS- Huge amounts of funds have been allocated for Citizen-Community Board projects since devolution which are not been appropriately utilized. In many cases these funds are simply not used. They have also been prone to elite capture. (Equitable resources distribution)
