Missing data! Majority of
Refugees (~70%) not in Camps!
UNHCR WASH Snapshot
i. Not publically available.
ii. Too time intensive (Excel).
iii. Lack of GIS.
iv. Lack of time-series data.
Data does not align with SDG #6
(JMP) – comparison hosts.
Current Health platform (iRHIS)
i. Glitchy and delayed.
ii. Too health orientated.
27. Background to Joint Monitoring Programme

Established 1990
Continues work started
by WHO in 1960s
Reports every 2 years
Mandated to track WASH
SDG Targets.
Objective: “To provide regular global
reports on drinking-water and sanitation
coverage to facilitate sector planning and
management, to support countries in
their efforts to improve their monitoring
systems, and to provide information for
advocacy.”

SLIDE #1 – TITLE SCREEN
This lecture is designed to give an OVERVIEW of Environmental Health strategies, interventions and standards.
We will discuss exactly what “Environmental Health” encompasses a bit later. The term is often interchanged with “Water & Sanitation” and “Public Health Engineering”. For UNICEF, all these activities are covered under the WES departments.
Some statistics for starters. Today out of a population of 6 billion, 1.1 billion people (about 1/5th of the world) lack access to safe water and 2.6 billion people (2/5th or 40% of the world) lack access to proper sanitation (UNICEF/WHO JMP 2002).
There are about 4 billion cases of diarrhea annually. Estimates are that 2.2 million people died from diarrheal diseases in 2000 (about 3.7/10,000). 90% of these deaths are among children below 5 years.
Also, 10% of the developing world suffer from intestinal worm infections; 6 million people are blind from trachoma and 200 million people in the world are infected with schistosomiasis.
Environmental Health is the original cross-cutting theme
Health (reduced diarrhoeal disease)
Nutrition (with every bout of diarrhea a child <5 moves back towards malnutrition, improved hygiene for caregivers)
HIV/AIDS (reduced diarrhoeal disease for people with compromised immune systems, improved hygiene for caregivers – half of the population with HIV/AIDS suffer from chronic diarrhea.)
Education (time spent suffering with diarrhea and collecting water leads to missed schooling. Improved facilities at schools encourage girls enrollment.)
Livelihoods (time spent suffering with diarrhea and collecting water leads to missed economic activity)
GBV (reduced risk of sexual violence by bringing EH services closer to home).
