| What the standard measures
|
Proportions of the population nationally, regionally and globally:
- Household sanitation facility type
- Use a shared sanitation facility
- Location of sanitation facility
- Emptying of on-site sanitation facilities
- Disposal of excreta from onsite sanitation facilities
|
| Priority indicators
|
Proportions of the population that uses:
- Improved sanitation facilities
- Improved sanitation facilities
- Improved sanitation facilities connected to septic tanks
- Improved pit latrines or other on-site improved facilities
- Unimproved sanitation facilities
- No sanitation facility (open defecation)
- Improved sanitation facilities which are shared (limited sanitation services)
- Improved sanitation facilities which are not shared (basic sanitation services
- Sewer connections where wastes reach treatment plants and are treated
- On-site sanitation facilities where wastes reach treatment plants and are treated
- On-site sanitation facilities where wastes are disposed of in situ
- Safely managed sanitation services
Indicator details are elaborated in this JMP Methodology document.

|
| How users analyze data
|
Household sanitation service levels are calculated based on responses, and then households are classified on the JMP Sanitation Service Ladder for further analysis:
Safely Managed
Use of improved facilities that are not shared with other households and where excreta are safely disposed of in situ or transported and treated offsite
|
Basic
Use of improved facilities that are not shared with other households
|
Limited
Use of improved facilities shared between two or more households
|
Unimproved
Use of pit latrines without a slab or platform, hanging latrines or bucket latrines
|
Open defecation
Disposal of human faeces in fields, forests, bushes, open bodies of water, beaches or other open spaces, or with solid waste
|
Service levels and priority indicators are monitored at national, regional, and global levels.
|
| How users act on data
|
Data is used to:
- Influence policy, program interventions, and national development plans
- Monitor Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) progress / other global commitments
- Influence public perception on national and global household sanitation statuses
The JMP Sanitation service ladder is used to classify, baseline and compare sanitation services across regions, countries and communities.
|
| How users create reports aligned with the standard
|
Reporting is coordinated at the country level by national statistical offices and
key sector institutions (i.e. ministries of water and sanitation, regulators of sanitation
services)
|
| Where users submit reports
|
National committees responsible for SDG monitoring and reporting
