Drinking water, sanitation & hygiene in schools - global baseline report 2018 and country case studies

Group Submission Type: Formal Panel Session

Proposal

The SDG baseline estimates for WASH in schools are based on nationally representative data sources including Education Management Information Systems (EMIS), censuses and surveys, as well as secondary sources (e.g. UNESCO UIS) in the absence of primary data. Data are harmonized to the extent possible based on the indicator definitions for ‘basic’ service and facility type classifications. A simple linear regression estimation method is used to estimate the proportion of schools using different levels of service using the JMP ladders for WASH in schools.
In this panel, we will first learn about the WASH in Schools baseline report findings overall, and by region and country, as well as learn about the inequalities that were found, between primary and secondary school level; rural and urban contexts; and public and private schools.
Following on from this overarching presentation, three organizations, namely, GIZ in the Philippines, Save the Children in Bangladesh, and the Associated Staff College of India will present detailed WASH findings for their countries.
