Definition and methodologyTop
Definition

Percentage of household members using an improved on-site sanitation facility from which a service provider has removed waste for treatment off-site.

 

The following counts in the improved sanitation facilities here: flush to septic tank and other improved sanitation facilities: flush/pour flush (flush to pit latrine), pit latrine (ventilated improved pit latrine, pit latrine with slab) and composting toilet. The contents was removed by a service provider (to a treatment plant, to don't know where) or it is not known where the contents was emptied.

Methodological explanations

Data sources included in the JMP database are:

 

• Censuses, which in principle collect basic data from all people living within a country and led by national statistical offices.
• Household surveys, which collect data from a subset of households. These may target national, rural or urban population, or more limited project or sub-national areas. An appropriate sample design is necessary for survey results to be representative, and surveys are often led by or reviewed and approved by national statistical organizations.
• Administrative data, which may consist of information collected by government or non-government entities involved in the delivery or oversight of services. Examples include water and sanitation inventories and databases, and reports of regulators.
• Other datasets may be available such as compilations by international or regional initiatives (e.g. Eurostat), studies conducted by research institutes, or technical advice received during country consultations.

Method of calculation

The number of household members using an improved on-site sanitation facility from which a service provider has removed waste for treatment off-site is divided by the members of all households and multiplied by 100.

 

The observation unit is members of all surveyed households.
