List of countries by proportion of the population using improved sanitation facilities[edit | edit source]

This article provides a comprehensive list of countries ranked by the proportion of their population that has access to improved sanitation facilities. The data used in this list is sourced from reliable international organizations and government reports.

Definition[edit | edit source]

Before delving into the list, it is important to understand the definition of "improved sanitation facilities." According to the World Health Organization (WHO), improved sanitation facilities refer to facilities that hygienically separate human excreta from human contact. These facilities include flush or pour-flush toilets connected to a piped sewer system, septic tanks, pit latrines with a slab, and composting toilets.

Methodology[edit | edit source]

The data presented in this list is based on the latest available information from reputable sources such as the WHO, United Nations, and national statistical agencies. The proportion of the population with access to improved sanitation facilities is calculated by dividing the number of people with access to such facilities by the total population of a country and multiplying the result by 100.
