 This document has been prepared by JMP as a contribution to the World Vision - AusAid Sanitation and Water 2008 Conference, October 27-29, 2008 in Melbourne Australia. It contains a set of drinking water and sanitation coverage estimates for South-eastern Asia and the Pacific based on the most recent JMP estimates (2006).
This document provides an assessment of the population currently using an improved drinking-water source and basic sanitation disaggregated by urban and rural areas. It details regional and country progress towards the Millenium Development Goal (MDG) target for drinking-water supply and sanitation (target 7c) in South-eastern Asia. For half of the 22 countries in the Pacific region there are insufficient data to access progress towards the MDG drinking water and sanitation targets. This report therefore includes only one page on the island states in the Pacific in addition to the individual country data provided in the back of the report.
The estimates presented in this document are drawn from data collected by national statistics offices and other relevant institutions through national censuses and nationally representatives household surveys, including Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS), Multiple Indicator Cluster Surveys (MICS) and World Health Surveys among others.
