OLAS/SCL WASH Household Survey Dataset

This dataset harmonizes water and sanitation data from household surveys from 26 countries in Latin America and the Caribbean covering 2003-2024. The dataset provides country-level, subregional, and regional values for key indicators on topics including water sources, continuity of access, water metering coverage, sanitation facilities, exclusivity, and alternatives to household sanitation installations. These topics are available at the national level and broken down by dimensions such as area (urban/rural), income, gender, and ethnicity. Data derived directly from the household survey are produced by a collaboration between the Social Division and Water and Sanitation Division’s Water and Sanitation Observatory for Latin America and the Caribbean (OLAS), while interpolation and regional estimates are generated by the OLAS.

本数据集整合了拉丁美洲及加勒比地区26个国家2003年至2024年的家庭调查饮用水与环境卫生数据。本数据集提供了国家、次区域及区域层面的核心指标数值，涉及水源类型、供水保障连续性、水表覆盖率、卫生设施、使用排他性以及家庭卫生设施替代方案等主题。上述主题均可按国家层面统计，并可按地域（城镇/乡村）、收入水平、性别及种族等维度进行细分。直接源自家庭调查的数据由社会司与环境卫生司下属的拉丁美洲及加勒比地区环境卫生观测站（Water and Sanitation Observatory for Latin America and the Caribbean, OLAS）合作编制，而插值计算及区域估算值则由该观测站生成。
