As of 2019, UNICEF has been working in over 80 countries to improve access to WASH in health-care facilities. Our work focuses on technical assistance to governments for the construction and rehabilitation of WASH infrastructure, as well as on developing national standards, policies and hygiene protocols for WASH in health-care facilities.

The global urban population facing water scarcity is projected to double from 930 million in 2016 to 1.7–2.4 billion people in 2050. Imminent risk of a global water crisis, warns the UN World Water Development Report 2023 | UNESCO As at 2015, only one rural household out of ten were using improved household toilets while three in every ten of them practiced open defecation.

WASH in emergencies

In this article we give an overview of global and national data on access to sanitation, and its impact on health outcomes. Unsafe sanitation is a leading risk factor for death Unsafe sanitation is responsible for hundreds of thousands of deaths each year There is a vast number of professions that are involved in the field of sanitation, for example on the technical and operations side: sanitation workers, waste collectors, sanitary engineers. Open defecation perpetuates a vicious cycle of disease and poverty. The countries where open defection is most widespread have the highest number of deaths of children aged under 5 years as well as the highest levels of malnutrition and poverty, and big disparities of wealth. Benefits of improving sanitation

For developing countries, the economic costs of inadequate sanitation is a huge concern. For example, according to a World Bank study, economic losses due to inadequate sanitation to The Indian economy are equivalent to 6.4% of its GDP. [24] Most of these are due to premature mortality, time lost in accessing, loss of productivity, additional costs for healthcare among others. [24] Inadequate sanitation also leads to loss from potential tourism revenue. [24] This study also found that impacts are disproportionately higher for the poor, women and children. Availability of toilet at home on the other hand, positively contributes to economic well-being of women as it leads to an increase in literacy and participation in labor force. [25] Types and concepts (for excreta management) [ edit ] Percentage of population served by different types of sanitation systems [26] Example of sanitation infrastructure: Shower, double-vault urine-diverting dry toilet (UDDT) and waterless urinal in Lima, Peru In emergencies, UNICEF provides urgent relief to communities and nations threatened by disrupted services and the risk of disease outbreak.In 2022, 57% of the global population (4.6 billion people) used a safely managed sanitation service. Despite the fact that sanitation includes wastewater treatment, the two terms are often used side by side as "sanitation and wastewater management". a b Harvey, Peter; etal. (2007).

Sewage Works Journal Vol.12.5 (1940): 939-46 We work directly with schools and health-care facilities to improve access to basic water, sanitation and handwashing facilities, and to establish protocols for preventing and controlling infections. We support menstrual health and hygiene in schools by constructing private, secure sanitation and washing facilities as well as menstrual pad disposal facilities. We also provide education and support services that help more girls better manage their menstruation cycle.
