Household Water Data Collection Initiative

Our Household Water Data Collection Initiative fills a critical evidence gap in understanding water access at the household level. We deploy trained community data collectors using digital tools to survey households on water sources, quality, distance to water points, costs, and usage patterns. The data collected informs our programs, supports advocacy for improved water infrastructure, and contributes to national and county-level WASH planning. This initiative particularly focuses on documenting the experiences of women, girls, and PWLDs who are disproportionately affected by inadequate water access.
