Sanitation

Estimated share of the population with safe household sanitation. Primary source is WHO/UNICEF JMP via World Bank WDI safely managed sanitation services (SH.STA.SMSS.ZS), supplemented by at least basic sanitation services (SH.STA.BASS.ZS) and open defecation (SH.STA.ODFC.ZS). Higher values are better and the score equals the raw percentage.

How the Raw Value Is Calculated

The raw value is the estimated share of the population with safe sanitation. It is shown as a percentage from 0 to 100. Higher values are better; the score equals the raw value.

The main direct anchor is the WHO/UNICEF JMP value for safely managed sanitation services. This requires the use of an improved toilet or latrine that is not shared with other households, and excreta must be safely disposed of in situ or removed and treated offsite.

Where all three World Bank/JMP series are available, Nomadino uses 85% safely managed sanitation, 10% at least basic sanitation and 5% absence of open defecation. The final component equals 100 minus the share of the population practising open defecation.

Where the direct safely managed sanitation value is missing, basic sanitation is not treated as automatically safe. It is used only as a plausibility anchor for a maintained Nomadino replacement value, together with open defecation, regional comparators, administering states for small territories, wastewater and faecal-sludge context and WHO sanitation guidelines.

This indicator measures household sanitation at country level. It does not rate individual hotels, public toilets, bathing water, waste collection, water prices, temporary outages, individual city districts or the comfort of individual facilities.
