Similarities

• Household based data– e.g. UNICEF data sources (Census,MICS)

• Data Sets– e.g. MICS 2000

Definition at National Level

• Data collection at household levelMakes a lot of sense in that– Similar water sources exist for members– Common sanitation facilities

Is household size a significant determinant to access sanitation/drinking water?

• Capacity – Lack of Knowledge/awareness on MDG indicators

• Demand of Information– Planning Purposes, & National Development Strategy

Focus on Households

Definition at National Level

• Analysis and reporting at household level- ‘Percent households’

• Interventions target households and larger community

Way Forward

Plans are underway for the calculation of the two indicators at both individual level and household level to cater for the increasing demand of such information

More consultation (inter vs. intra agency) at country level
