WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme

The WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme (JMP) is an initiative that collects and reports global data on water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH). Its goal is to track progress in providing safe drinking water and sanitation services worldwide, helping countries identify gaps and improve policies. By combining expertise from both organizations, the JMP offers standardized, accurate information that supports decision-making, promotes equitable access, and monitors progress toward global goals like the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This data helps ensure that everyone has access to basic, safe water and sanitation essential for health and well-being.
