SMS section under sanitation[edit]

Safely managed sanitation[edit]

Safely managed sanitation is the highest level of household sanitation envisioned by the Sustainable Development Goals ^[1]. It is measured as defined under the Sustainable Development Goal 6.2, Indicator 6.2.1 “Proportion of population using safely managed sanitation services, including a handwashing facility with soap and water” ^[2]. The operation definition of indicator 6.2.1a is the following: The proportion of population that is using an improved sanitation facility, which is not shared with other households, and where the excreta produced is either

treated and disposed in situ,
stored temporarily and then emptied and transported to treatment off-site,
or transported through a sewer with wastewater and then treated off-site.

In other words, safely managed sanitation is a basic sanitation service where in addition excreta are safely disposed of in situ or transported and treated offsite.^[3] In addition, under SDG Indicator 6.2.1, safely managed services include handwashing facilities with soap and water measured separate under Indicator 6.2.1b. ^[2]

Safely managed sanitation[edit]

Safely managed sanitation is the highest level of household sanitation envisioned by the Sustainable Development Goals ^[4]. This is used by the global Joint Monitoring Program (JMP) for Water Supply and Sanitation of UNICEF and WHO.

It is measured as defined under the Sustainable Development Goal 6.2, Indicator 6.2.1 “Proportion of population using safely managed sanitation services, including a handwashing facility with soap and water” ^[2]. The operation definition of indicator 6.2.1a is the following: The proportion of population that is using an improved sanitation facility, which is not shared with other households, and where the excreta produced is either

treated and disposed in situ,
stored temporarily and then emptied and transported to treatment off-site,
or transported through a sewer with wastewater and then treated off-site.

Safely managed sanitation is referring to a service level in which there is safe containment and treatment of waste. An improved sanitation facility is a requirement but not sufficient to ensure this level of service.

Under SDG Indicator 6.2.1, safely managed services should also include handwashing facilities with soap and water. Indicator 6.2.1b measures handwashing with soap and water. ^[2]
