English: % of households who keep their sanitation facilities clean

French: % de ménages qui maintiennent leurs installations d'assainissement propres

Spanish: % de hogares que mantienen limpias sus instalaciones sanitarias

Portuguese: % de agregados familiares que preservam as suas instalações sanitárias limpas

What is its purpose?

The indicator assesses the proportion of households who keep their latrines clean - an essential precondition for their use and for ensuring effective vector control.

How to Collect and Analyse the Required Data

Collect the following data by using observations of latrines owned by a representative number of the target group members: 

  

RECOMMENDED SURVEY QUESTION (Q) AND POSSIBLE ANSWERS (A)

Q1 for data collectorIs the household's latrine clean? (no faeces, urine, etc. present)

A1: yes / no

    

To calculate the indicator's value, divide the number of households who keep their latrines clean by the total number of observed latrines. Multiply the result by 100 to convert it to a percentage.

Important Comments

1) In the case of communal sanitation facilities, the indicator can be changed to " % of communal sanitation facilities that are kept clean". This can be determined based on interviews with randomly selected users, key informant interviews and observations.
