19. 水和环境卫生问题咨询委员会是时任秘书长科菲·安南于 2004 年设立的，职责是就与水和环境卫生有关的问题提供咨询意见，促使水资源界内外采取行动，调动资金用于水和环境卫生。咨询委员由各国政府、民间社会和私营部门的水问题知名人士和专家代表组成。水和环境卫生问题咨询委员会帮助支持“十年”期间为实现与水有关的商定目标所做的努力。大会 2010 年 12 月 20 日第 65/153 号决议提出了“可持续的环境卫生：2015 年前的五年奋斗”的倡议，将其作为行动纲要。咨询委员会促进和支持了该倡议，重点是努力缩小差距，以实现涉及环境卫生的千年发展目标，这是颇为引人注目的。2015 年 11 月 20 日，咨询委员会最后一次会议向秘书长提交了最后报告，就此终止了活动。7
19. The Advisory Board on Water and Sanitation was created in 2004 by the then Secretary-General, Kofi Annan, to provide advice on water- and sanitation-related issues, spur action both within and outside the water community and mobilize funds for water and sanitation. The Board was composed of eminent persons and experts representing national Governments, civil society and the private sector, who were engaged in dealing with water issues. The work of the Advisory Board on water and sanitation issues helped underpin the efforts made during the Decade to achieve agreed water-related targets. Most notably, the Advisory Board facilitated and supported the initiative “Sustainable sanitation: the five-year drive to 2015”, presented in General Assembly resolution 65/153 of 20 December 2010 as a platform for action, which focused efforts to close the gap in order to meet the Millennium Development Goal target on sanitation. The Advisory Board terminated its activities with the handover of a final report 7 to the Secretary-General during its final meeting on 20 November 2015.
