UNHCR WASH Monitoring System – Community Level

The UNHCR WASH Monitoring System includes monitoring of WASH conditions at the community level in refugee settings on a monthly basis. All refugee settings should be surveyed on a monthly basis using the Monthly Report Card. Indicators are tracked on the Refugee WASH Dashboard.

A) Indicators
The Monthly Report Card captures information on 9 community level “access” indicators including:

Number of persons per usable handpump / well / spring
Number of persons per usable water tap
Average # litres of safe water available per person per day
% water quality tests at non chlorinated water collection locations with 0 CFU / 100mL
% of water quality tests at chlorinated water collection locations with FRC in the range of 0.2-2.0 mg/L and turbidity < 5 NTU.
Number of persons per latrine/toilet
% of HH with household latrine/toilet (not shared)
Number of persons per bath shelter / shower
Number of persons per hygiene promoter

Indicators are taken from WASH Indicators and Targets for Refugee Settings – PDF (UNHCR, 2020)
