Abstract:
The paper presents the best data available for the coverage of water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services in primary schools gathered from 149 countries for the period 2008-2013. It also compares current national WASH in Schools (WinS) monitoring indicators against global guidelines.
The key messages of the paper are:
- More countries are reporting school water and sanitation coverage data each year
- Globally, school water and sanitation coverage both increased by six per cent between 2008 and 2013
- Hand-washing facility coverage is rarely reported
- The quality of WinS coverage data is questionable, including poorly defined and inconsistent indicators
- Many countries solicit WinS information through their Education Management Information System (EMIS) questionnaires
- Sanitation is the most comprehensively monitored WinS component; hygiene is the least
- WinS data captured in EMIS questionnaires are often underutilized
The paper concludes with recommendations for action for both the national and international levels.
