In this section, the harmonized questions are presented in three parts: questions related to
drinking-water, to sanitation, and a question on the disposal of children’s faeces. The harmonized
questions for drinking-water provide information about the type of water source used,
the time required to collect the water, and the household member responsible for fetching
the water. There is also a question about the treatment of household drinking-water. The
sanitation-related questions focus on access to sanitation facilities, and include questions
about the type of sanitation facility used by the household and whether the facility is shared
with others. The harmonized question on children’s faeces aims at understanding household
practices for disposing of them.
