Data sources
This map uses data by the World Health Organization’s Global Health Observatory (Water and sanitation) (last accessed March 2018). We aim to map as complete data as possible and therefore estimate data for missing values. In some cases, missing data for very small territories is not used in the cartogram and that area is therefore omitted in the map.

All modification to the original data source are noted in our data sheets.

According to the report, 1.3 billion people in these countries lived in multidimensional poverty. The contribution of deprivation in health to overall multidimensional poverty takes two indicators into account as a measure for deprived households: (1) Nutrition: An adult under 70 years of age or a child is undernourished. (2) Child mortality: Any child under the age of 18 years has died in the five years preceding the survey.]]> This map shows the land surface resized by its population overlaid with the contribution of deprivation in health to overall multidimensional poverty. These projections are based data collected between 2007 and 2018.

Data sources
This map uses population estimates for the year 2020 which are based on data from the Gridded Population of the World (GPW), v4 at 0.25 degree resolution, released by SEDAC (Socioeconomic Data and Applications Center). The map overlay uses data from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Oxford Poverty and Human Development Initiative (OPHI) published in The 2019 Global Multidimensional Poverty Index (MPI) (last accessed: October 2019).

Although 2.1 billion people have gained access to improved water sanitation since 1990, dwindling supplies of safe drinking water is a major problem impacting every continent. Ensuring universal access to safe and affordable drinking water for all by 2030 requires we invest in adequate infrastructure, provide sanitation facilities, and encourage hygiene at every level. Protecting and restoring water-related ecosystems such as forests, mountains, wetlands and rivers is essential if we are to mitigate water scarcity. More international cooperation is also needed to encourage water efficiency and support treatment technologies in developing countries. ]]> Territory size shows the proportion of people living with no access to at least basic sanitation services in 2015, including pit latrines and toilets with cesspits, as well as those linked to mains sewerage systems.
