South Asia: Who has data on the functionality, reliability, and sustainability of rural WASH systems?
Dear Colleagues,
Oxford Policy Management is managing some WASH sustainability research for DFID, in partnership with LSHTM, the University of Leeds and others.
One aspect of this is producing regional assessments of operational sustainability of water and sanitation services in rural areas in South Asia.
For this, we are looking for quantitative data for all South Asian countries (particularly Afghanistan, Bangladesh, India, Nepal, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka).
This information on “operational sustainability” may come from government or agency databases, discrete academic studies, NGO evaluations etc.
For rural water, types of data could include: • Reliability, e.g. hours per day or days per month during which water services are operational • Functionality, e.g. through water point mapping or inventory initiative • Seasonality, e.g. months per year during which services are operational • Service levels, e.g. time-to-source, water quality, use of multiple sources,
For rural sanitation, we are looking at • Reliability/sustainability of toilets (e.g. quality of construction, working life of toilet, time before pit fills up etc.) • Sustainability of behaviour, e.g. relationship between access and use over time
If you are able to point is in the direction of any quantitative data of these kinds for any South Asian countries in the next few weeks, that would be very helpful.
The larger-scale the dataset the better (e.g. for functionality we already have the DACAAR and SHEWA-B water point databases, and for service levels we already have DHS and MICS results and the SQUAT survey). At this stage we are most interested in academic or NGO studies which might be out there but not easily searchable in databases or online.
The data would be used in the regional assessment with appropriate attribution, and the results would be shared with parties who contribute data. We are submitting a preliminary draft to DFID in early April, but these would be updated during May/June and published in the summer. Drafts would be shared for comments from organisations contributing data, prior to publication.
Thank you for your help!
