JMP Methodology for WASH in Schools

This document describes the methods used by the JMP to produce estimates for drinking water, sanitation, and hygiene services in schools. Global indicators are defined, and the structure of composite indicators is described with illustrative examples. 

As for JMP estimates of WASH in households and WASH in health care facilities, a set of standard steps are followed:

• Identification of data sources
• Data extraction, cleaning and pre-processing
• Producing draft country estimates
• Country consultation and estimate finalization
• Producing regional and global aggregate estimates
