WASH and NTD data to improve targeting and equity of services

Global Strategy on WASH and NTDs 2021-2030 includes a strategic objective, urging implementers and decision makers to “use WASH data in NTD programmes and NTD data in WASH programmes to highlight inequalities, target investment, and track progress.” The Strategy encouraged endemic countries to adopt joint WASH and NTD monitoring frameworks that assist the WASH sector in achieving its goal of universal access by targeting investments to the poorest and most marginalized populations, and providing WASH information to accelerate and sustain progress made through NTD investments.
