Percentage of schools with access to drinking water/sanitation/hygiene services, disaggregated by rural/urban location, education level (pre-primary, primary, secondary, and service level)
(Percentage)
Data Source:
The WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme for Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene (JMP) Reports, https://washdata.org/data/school#!/
Additional Information:
Please specify in the indicator the type of services that relevant for the intervention (water, sanitation and/or hygiene). Drinking water services refers to the accessibility, availability and quality of the main source used by households for drinking, cooking, personal hygiene and other domestic uses. Schools with an improved drinking water source with water available at the time of the questionnaire or survey are classified as having a ‘basic’ service. Schools without water available, but with an improved source are classified as having a ‘limited’ service, and those with unimproved or no water source are classified as having ‘no service’. An 'advanced' level can also be defined based on the local context and parameters. Sanitation services refer to the management of excreta from the facilities used by individuals, through emptying and transport of excreta for treatment and eventual discharge or reuse. Schools with improved sanitation facilities which are single-sex and usable at the time of the survey or questionnaire are classified as having ‘basic’ service. The term ‘usable’ here refers to toilets or latrines that are accessible to students (doors are unlocked or a key is available at all times), functional (the toilet is not broken, the toilet hole is not blocked, and water is available for flush/pour-flush toilets), and private (there are closable doors that lock from the inside and no large gaps in the structure). Those using improved sanitation facilities which are either not single-sex or not usable are classified as having ‘limited’ service. However, pre-primary schools without single-sex toilets may still be considered to have ‘basic’ sanitation service if the toilets are usable. Schools with unimproved or no toilets are classified as having ‘no service’. In countries where an ‘advanced’ service level is appropriate, elements might include students per toilet ratios, appropriate facilities for menstrual hygiene management, or toilet accessibility for all users. Hygiene refers to the conditions and practices that help maintain health and prevent spread of disease including handwashing, menstrual hygiene management and food hygiene. Schools with handwashing facilities with water and soap available at the time of the questionnaire or survey are considered to have ‘basic’ service. Those with handwashing facilities that have water available at the time of the questionnaire or survey, but no soap, are considered to have ‘limited’ service, while schools with no facilities or no water available for handwashing are classified as having ‘no service’. An ‘advanced’ level for hygiene might include tracking if handwashing facilities are available at critical times (before eating and after using the toilet), if they are accessible to all users, and if menstrual hygiene education and products are provided. |

Percentage of healthcare facilities with access to drinking water/sanitation/hygiene services, disaggregated by rural/urban location, facility type (government or non-government, hospital or non-hospital) and service level
(Percentage)
Data Source:
The WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme for Water Supply, Sanitation and Hygiene (JMP) Reports, https://washdata.org/data/healthcare#!/
Additional Information:
Please specify in the indicator the type of services that relevant for the intervention (water, sanitation and/or hygiene). Drinking water services refers to the accessibility, availability and quality of the main source used by households for drinking, cooking, personal hygiene and other domestic uses. Health care facilities with an improved water source on-premises with water available at the time of the questionnaire or survey will be classified as having basic service. Health care facilities with an improved water source without water available or that is off-premises (but within 500 metres) are classified as having limited service, and those with an improved source that is more than 500 metres from the premises, an unimproved source or no water source will be classified as no service. In countries where basic service is already the norm, a country-defined advanced service level may be appropriate based on the national context, priorities and resources. Criteria for an advanced level might include normative elements such as water quality and water quantity. Sanitation services refer to the management of excreta from the facilities used by individuals, through emptying and transport of excreta for treatment and eventual discharge or reuse. Health care facilities with improved latrines or toilets which are usable, separated for patients and staff, separated for women with menstrual hygiene facilities, and meet the needs of people with limited mobility are classified as having basic service. The term usable here refers to toilets or latrines that are accessible to patients and staff (doors are unlocked or a key is available at all times), functional (the toilet is not broken, the toilet hole is not blocked, and water is available for flush/pour-flush toilets), and private (there are closable doors that lock from the inside and no large gaps in the structure). Health care facilities with improved latrines or toilets which do not meet all the criteria for basic service are classified as having limited service. Health care facilities with unimproved or no toilets are classified as having no service. In countries where an advanced service level is appropriate, elements might include toilet cleanliness, toilet lighting, or patients per toilet ratios.Hygiene refers to the conditions and practices that help maintain health and prevent spread of disease including handwashing, menstrual hygiene management and food hygiene. Basic hand hygiene in health care facilities is defined by two main criteria: (1) either alcohol hand-rub or a basin with water and soap are available at points of care, and (2) handwashing facilities with water and soap are available at the toilets. Points of care are defined here as any location in the outpatient setting where care or treatment is delivered (i.e. consultation/exam rooms). Health care facilities with hand hygiene materials at either points of care or the toilets, but not both are considered to have limited service, while those with no hand hygiene stations or with no cleansing materials are classified as having no service. An advanced level for hygiene might include availability of hand hygiene promotional materials near hand hygiene stations and/or the patient waiting area, or if hand hygiene facilities are accessible to all staff and patients. |
