People using safely managed sanitation services (% of population)

This indicator reflects the proportion of the population that has access to sanitation solutions designed to ensure health and safety, distinguishing those who utilize facilities that are private and hygienically managed. These facilities not only meet basic improved sanitation standards but also guarantee that human waste is either treated onsite or efficiently transported for proper processing offsite, significantly reducing health risks and environmental contamination. Improved sanitation options encompass various technologies, including flush toilets connected to sewer systems, well-maintained septic tanks, and innovative systems like ventilated improved pit latrines or composting toilets, all of which promote public health and cleanliness. By evaluating this percentage, we gain insight into the effectiveness of sanitation infrastructure and its role in enhancing overall community well-being. Source:
