Define and disseminate WASH Core Indicators

...

The GWC has supported different countries in developing their core indicators (see xxx in the Key guidance and tools). The table below shows an example of commonly used indicators:


Theme

Indicator at HH-level

Proxy indicator at community-level

Water

Proportion of households accessing an Improved Water Source

Proportion of communities accessing an Improved Water SourceĀ 

Hygiene

Proportion of households having soap

Proportion of communities where members have soap

Sanitation

Proportion of households accessing functioning latrines

Proportion of communities where members are accessing functioning latrines


Once the first draft of your core indicators list is finalized circulate it among the WASH partners to collect their feedback and proceed with formal approval at a coordination meeting.

Once the indicators are approved, the associated questions can be developed. Find below an example for one indicator:

Indicator

Questions at household-level

Proxy questions at community-level
