The Water Page - Coverage 1996

This is the third report since the start of the WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme (JMP). The previous ones were published in November 1992 (reporting on the later supply and sanitation situation at the end of 1990 - the Baseline Year) and August 1993 (recording the situation at the end of 1991).

This document contains maps, charts and tables developed from data on sector coverage, management and funding received from a total of 84 developing countries during the period September 1994 to June 1 995. The figures supplied relate in the main to the years 1993 and 1994 though in some cases countries were only able to supply data from earlier years.

The new information can be compared with data provided in the first and second reports. In that way the data can help to indicate trends and developments during the first half of the 1990s. The comparisons must necessarily be treated with some caution as, in some cases, there are evident inconsistencies in the data reported in the different years. Also, the formats used by governments in their latest reporting differed somewhat from those used for the previous two reports. This document takes account of these changes and points out the effects of these variations in the reported data where relevant.

WHO and UNICEF thank the countries for their continued efforts in improving the monitoring, accuracy and reporting of data, and thereby helping to fulfil the goal that by the end of the decade a reliable system will have been fully implemented.
