Workshop on MDG Monitoring Presentation on Indicator 7.8 & 7.9 By Mary M. Wanyonyi Kenya National Bureau Of Statistics (KNBS )

Outline  Differences between International & National Data  Definitions and Methodologies  Similarities  Reasons for definition used at National level

Differences - National & International Data International Data -MDG Info 2007 National Data Kenya

Differences - National & International Data International Data -UNICEF

Definitions and Methodologies International Water: Piped water, borehole, protected spring and protected well, rainwater Sanitation: Flush toilets and pit latrines. - Not shared National Water: Piped water, borehole, protected spring and protected well Sanitation: Flush toilets and pit latrines

Definitions and Methodologies International Analysis –Individual –Population weighted Coverage Sample case studies in some instances National Analysis –Household Coverage National Surveys

Similarities Household based data –e.g. UNICEF data sources (Census,MICS ) Data Sets –e.g. MICS 2000

Definition at National Level Data collection at household level Makes a lot of sense in that –Similar water sources exist for members –Common sanitation facilities Is household size a significant determinant to access sanitation/drinking water? Capacity –Lack of Knowledge/awareness on MDG indicators Demand of Information –Planning Purposes, & National Development Strategy Focus on Households

Definition at National Level Analysis and reporting at household level - ‘Percent households’ Interventions target households and larger community

Way Forward  Plans are underway for the calculation of the two indicators at both individual level and household level to cater for the increasing demand of such information  More consultation (inter vs. intra agency) at country level
