International efforts have taken place to alleviate poverty by adopting several obligations within the international society; one of these obligations is the provision of safe access to water and sanitation. The MDGs helped people around the world to gain improved water sources and better sanitation. Although the sectoral aid increased from 20% between 1990 and 1992 (only 4.9% distributed for water supply and sanitation (W&S)) to 35% between 2002 and 2004 (only 3.9% allocated for W&S), facts showed that the allocated aid was biased to social aims rather than infrastructural targets. In this study, I am focusing on the donors’ commitment for W&S, whether their ODA for these two sub-sectors is aligned with the intentions of the SDGs. I find that donors allocated W&S aid by focusing on governments in general with higher governance indicators, and that poorer countries received a higher allocation of aid.

通过在国际社会中承担若干义务，为减轻贫困作出了国际努力；其中一项义务是提供安全的用水和卫生设施。千年发展目标帮助世界各地的人们获得更好的水源和更好的卫生设施。尽管部门援助从 1990 年至 1992 年的 20%（仅 4.9% 分配给供水和卫生设施 (W&S)）增加到 2002 年至 2004 年的 35%（仅分配给 W&S 的 3.9%），但事实表明分配的援助是有偏差的社会目标而不是基础设施目标。在这项研究中，我将重点关注捐助者对 W&S 的承诺，以及他们对这两个子行业的官方发展援助是否符合可持续发展目标的意图。我发现捐赠者分配了 W&
