Title
JMP- Technical Task Force
Meeting on Sanitation and
Methods for Estimating Progress
Abstract
On 27 and 28 July 2010, UNICEF hosted a Technical Task Force meeting of the WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme for Water Supply and Sanitation (JMP) in New York City. Eleven international technical experts joined two external observers and the JMP team members from UNICEF and WHO, to discuss a number of technical issues that relate to monitoring sanitation and to methods for estimating progress towards the MDG target for drinking-water and sanitation.
The two-day meeting had seven specific objectives:
1.
Review the decision to consider public and shared sanitation facilities as “not improved”.
2.
Review the reliability of data on the use of shared sanitation facilities.
3.
Review the current method for estimating trends in the proportion of the population using public and shared sanitation facilities.
4.
Recommend a definition for “pit latrine with slab”.
5.
Discuss the issue of a “moving base-line” in the JMP estimates.
6.
Review the current method for assessing progress towards the MDG targets for drinking-water and sanitation.
7.
Review the application of the “50% rule” for survey categories that include use of both improved and unimproved facilities.
