                       The GLAAS 2021/2022 country survey
About the GLAAS 2021/2022 country survey
The GLAAS country survey asks for information on the delivery of drinking-water supply and sanitation services as
well as the status of hand hygiene activities. Questions in the survey focus on governance, monitoring, finance and
human resources and cover topics required for Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) monitoring. Information
gathered in this survey will be presented as part of the UN-Water GLAAS 2022 results. For more information about
GLAAS, please refer to:
https://www.who.int/teams/environment-climate-change-and-health/water-sanitation-and-health/monitoring-and-
evidence/wash-systems-monitoring/un-water-global-analysis-and-assessment-of-sanitation-and-drinking-water

The survey is organized in the following way:
           Section A on governance
           Section B on monitoring
           Section C on human resources
           Section D on finance

Questions include multiple choice and brief narratives.

For specific guidance on the GLAAS 2021/2022 country survey questions, please read the GLAAS 2021/2022 survey
guidance carefully and refer to it when needed. The survey guidance provides information on the GLAAS 2021/2022
cycle, the GLAAS country process, general survey instructions, as well as specific information on filling out the
survey. Before beginning the GLAAS country survey, and throughout the process, countries should review and refer to
the survey guidance document, including the glossary which provides definitions for specific terms. Terms used in the
water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) sector and their usage can vary by country. The glossary is therefore an
essential reference to avoid misinterpretations.

The GLAAS 2021/2022 country survey is provided as a fillable PDF form. It is highly recommended that the form be
used with an updated version of Adobe Acrobat Reader DC. A free version of Adobe Acrobat Reader can be
downloaded at: https://get.adobe.com/reader/. The country survey should be completed on the desktop version of
Adobe Reader and should not be filled out on a web browser version. The PDF can be saved and the respondent can
return to it as needed: it is not necessary to fill out the entire survey in one sitting. Please save the PDF at regular
intervals. If the PDF is not saved, responses will be lost.

If multiple respondents in the country provide information in several GLAAS survey forms, please note that the
GLAAS national focal person is responsible for compiling and reconciling all responses into one final country
submission in a single PDF survey form before sending to the GLAAS team at WHO.

For any questions on GLAAS, on the process or on the survey content, please contact the WHO regional office and
the GLAAS team at glaas@who.int.

Please return completed surveys to the WHO regional focal point and to glaas@who.int by 1 April 2022.

WHO policy on the use and sharing of data collected by WHO in Member States
Data are the basis for all sound public health actions and the benefits of data-sharing are widely recognized, including
scientific and public health benefits. Whenever possible, the World Health Organization (WHO) wishes to promote the
sharing of health data, including but not restricted to surveillance and epidemiological data.

As used in this data collection tool, the term "Data provider" means a duly authorized representative of the governmental
body with authority to release health data of the country to WHO (i.e. the Ministry of Health or other responsible
governmental authority). The recipient of this data collection tool is responsible for ensuring that he/she is the Data
provider, or for providing this data collection tool to the Data provider.

In this connection, and without prejudice to information sharing and publication pursuant to legally binding instruments,
by providing data to WHO, the Data provider:

            confirms that all data to be supplied to WHO (including but not limited to the types listed in Table 11) hereunder
             have been collected in accordance with applicable national laws, including data protection laws aimed at
             protecting the confidentiality of identifiable persons;
            agrees that WHO shall be entitled, subject always to measures to ensure the ethical and secure use of the data,
             and subject always to an appropriate acknowledgement of the country:
             i. to publish the data, stripped of any personal identifiers (such data without personal identifiers being
                 hereinafter referred to as “the Data”) and make the Data available to any interested party on request (to the
                 extent they have not, or not yet, been published by WHO) on terms that allow non-commercial, not-for-profit
                 use of the Data for public health purposes (provided always that publication of the Data shall remain under
                 the control of WHO);
             ii. to use, compile, aggregate, evaluate and analyse the Data and publish and disseminate the results thereof in
                 conjunction with WHO’s work and in accordance with the Organization’s policies and practices.

Except where data-sharing and publication are required under legally binding instruments (International Health
Regulations (2005), WHO Nomenclature Regulations 1967, etc.), the Data provider may in respect of certain data opt out
of (any part of) the above, by notifying WHO thereof in writing at the following address, provided that any such
notification shall clearly identify the data in question and clearly indicate the scope of the opt-out (in reference to the
above), and provided that specific reasons shall be given for the opt-out.

 The local administrative unit is to be determined by the government. Local administrative units are institutional units whose fiscal, legislative and executive
authority extends over the smallest geographical areas distinguished for administrative and political purposes (OECD: ttps://stats.oecd.org/glossary/detail.asp?ID=1550 ).

              Sanitation Policy Monitoring and Assessment Tool (PMAT): To support countries in their policy development processes and to improve the
              monitoring of the content of national sanitation policies, plans and strategies, GLAAS has developed the sanitation Policy Monitoring and
              Assessment Tool (PMAT). The PMAT is a tool that supports governments to dive deeper into their sanitation policies, plans and strategies to see
              how the documents are aligned with the WHO Guidelines on Sanitation and Health.
              If you would be interested to learn more about the PMAT or complete the PMAT, please contact: glaas@who.int.

A11. Participation procedures established at the national level: Are there clearly defined procedures in laws or policies for participation by service users (e.g. households) and
     communities and what is the level of participation?
                     Levels of participation are defined as below:
                     1: None/very low – No communication: No communication between government and users/communities on policy, planning and management.
                     2: Low – Communication: Information on policy, planning and management is made available to users/communities.
                     3: Medium low – Occasional consultation: Government authorities occasionally request information, experiences and opinions of users/communities.
                     4: Medium high – Regular consultation: Government authorities regularly request information, experiences and opinions of users/communities.
                     5: High – Collaboration and accountability: Regular opportunities for users/communities to formally take part in relevant policy, planning and management processes. Processes are
                     documented and acted upon by the responsible entities.
                     6: Very high – Representation and accountability: Formal representation of users/communities in government processes contributing to joint decision-making on issues and activities, as
                     appropriate. Processes are documented and subject to redress if responsible entities fail to act accordingly.

  g.   Access to opportunities for participation: What percentage of the population has access to opportunities for participation?
       Participation procedures differ across settings, sectors and populations. For each sector, indicate the percentage of the population that has access to the procedures listed below.
       Access entails that governments/service providers have established opportunities for the procedures to take place in communities in line with participation procedures described
       above. Opportunities to participate in sanitation and drinking-water decisions are disaggregated by urban and rural populations because opportunities can differ across these
       settings. Participation in water resources management decisions asks for the percentage of the total population.

Section B: Monitoring
Responses to this section of the survey will help to determine the level of monitoring activity performed by the government, as
well as other stakeholders and how this information is used in the planning, development and evaluation of water and sanitation
services. Please consult the survey guidance for important information on the questions in Section B.

WASH JOINT SECTOR REVIEWS
B1.   WASH joint sector reviews (JSRs): A joint sector review is a government-led periodic process that brings different
      stakeholders in a particular sector together to engage in dialogue, review status, progress and performance, and take
      decisions on priority actions. Alternative names for joint sector reviews include: Annual Water Sector Conference, Joint
      Water Sector Review, Multi-Stakeholder Forum, Joint Annual Review, and WASH Conference. Partner-led or partner-
      initiated assessments such as WASH bottleneck analyses using the WASH Bottleneck Analysis Tool (BAT), GLAAS and JMP
      coverage estimates do not constitute a joint sector review process.
