Revision history [back]

Hi Tim - the JMP has designed some new tools to assess safely managed sanitation, which are being tested in several countries at the moment. The WHO team has held a few national workshops (in the countries where these tools are being tested), and has produced an updated standard household questionnaire (for MICS/DHS nationally representative household surveys) which is being shared with countries with the caveat that they are not yet fully tested. The household survey doesn't include much new, as it has proved difficult to get the survey folk to add many new questions (as the surveys are already large and time-consuming, and notoriously difficult to change).

I've attached the "draft questions for piloting in household surveys" (proof of concept for SDG indicator 6.2.1 and 6.3.1) which also contains draft questions for piloting in emptying and transport service provider surveys, and for treatment service providers (as one of the changes is the need to survey service providers to find out what they do with faecal sludge/waste after it is emptied/taken from the household or other location, or after treatment).

Here's a few links that provide some more detail on some of the processes (being used to develop these tools and work with national governments/stakeholders): https://www.wssinfo.org/sdg-baselines/ https://www.unwater.org/what-we-do/monitoring-and-report/ https://www.sdg6monitoring.org/news/2017/1/11/global-implementation-of-sdg-6-monitoring-the-2017-integrated-baseline-process?rq=baseline%20data

And if you want any more information, then I would suggest that you contact Kate Medlicott at WHO (who is part of the WHO JMP team): medlicottk@who.int

I hope that helps.

Best regards - Andy Robinson

PS Knowledgepoint won't let me upload the file (not enough points?) ... will see if I can figure out how to share otherwise.
