Indicator Phrasing

English: number of households who built their own latrine according to the provided "model latrine"

French: nombre de ménages qui ont construit leurs propres latrines selon le "modèle de latrine" fourni

Portuguese: número de agregados familiares que construiu a sua própria latrina de acordo com o "modelo de latrina" providenciado

Czech: počet domácností, které si postavily vlastní latrínu dle ukázkového modelu

What is its purpose?

The indicator assesses the number of households who constructed their own latrine according to the "model latrine" example promoted by a company, non-governmental organization or local authority.

How to Collect and Analyse the Required Data

The way how you assess the number of constructed latrines depends on the approach you take. If you use a sanitation marketing approach where masons (or a company) offer latrine construction, then they will be the best source of information. If people are expected to build latrines by themselves, local community representatives (both formal and informal) might be able to inform you about the number of new toilets.

Important Comments

1) The data collectors should only count those latrines whose construction quality and design follows the most important features of the "model latrine" - for example, have a slab with lid ensuring vector control.
