Access to services

Explore the percentage of households who had access to clean water and sanitation in each of the survey round by location:

The waffle chart shows the percentages of rural and urban households that have access to water or sanitation in the selected country or year.

While it was made sure that definitions of access to safe drinking water and access of safely managed sanitation are similar across rounds and are consistent with nationally defined standards within the countries, they may not becomparable across the four study countries. For more information on how we define `safe drinking water’ and `safely managed sanitation service’ for each of the countries, please find our data dictionary below.
