Dutch Sanitation Solutions (March 2008)
An estimated 2.6 billion people currently lack proper sanitary facilities. They live largely in rural areas and in the slums of rapidly growing cities such as Mexico City, Dhaka, Calcutta and Nairobi. The UN aims to halve this figure by 2015. A special UN taskforce charged with monitoring progress in meeting this objective has noted that nearly two-thirds of the time allotted for achieving this goal has elapsed since the initiative's start in 1990. At the current rate, the taskforce expects that it will take at least until 2027 to achieve the 50% reduction.

Dutch Design products (September 2007)
"Dutch Design" is often associated with Dutch creativity, but what exactly is "Dutch Design", anyway? Strictly speaking, it refers to designs devised in the Netherlands or by Dutch designers. One could go on at length about Dutch design in a philosophical sense, but there is no clear-cut explanation, because everyone has his own point of view. Therefore, it is easier to start with a quantitative description of the Dutch design sector...
