Sanitation Coverage and Handwashing Sample Clauses

Sanitation Coverage and Handwashing. ‌ The worst-case scenario for the sanitation infrastructure of a community is the practice of open defecation. According to the JMP, 6% of Guatemalan households continue to practice open defecation, while 46% of Guatemalan communities have at least one household that practices open defecation (JMP, 2019). These measures are unfavorably high and essentially point to the fact that nearly half of all communal water sources in Guatemala are at risk of some degree of fecal contamination, unless they are improved sources that protect against pathogen influx. As of 2017, the proportion of the rural population that practiced open defecation was 8% (a marked improvement from the 2000 rate of 22%), while it was only 1% prevalent in the urban populations (JMP, 2019). A study in Kenya revealed that open defecation free (ODF) villages had significantly lower levels of bacteriological contamination of drinking water sources when compared to open defecation not free (ODNF) villages (Okullo et al., 2017). While it depends on population density and context, even apparently small rates of open defecation can result in greater fecal contamination of groundwater and subsequently communal water sources. Evaluation of the Millenium Development Goals revealed that between 2000 and 2014, the rates of the use of an improved sanitation system in Guatemala increased from 39% to 53% but did not reach the 2015 MDG target of 65.5% (World Bank, 2018). The same ambiguity applies here, particularly if an improved sanitation facility does not necessarily protect against the diarrheal pathogens that are of concern. Nevertheless, the disparity between rural and urban regions is most apparent in terms of sanitation facilities, with 51% and 79%, respectively, using at least basic services (JMP, 2019). There is no data on safely managed sanitation facilities in Guatemala–excluding those that are shared. There are, however, some indications that sanitation infrastructure continues to improve in urban areas but not necessarily in rural communities. For example, between 2000 and 2017, the prevalence of sewer connections in urban areas increased from 68% to 73% but decreased from 11% to 10% in rural areas. Even though open defecation is relatively low when compared to countries like India, many latrines may not properly contain waste, which can lead to run-off and contamination of groundwater (JMP, 2019). Handwashing practices and facilities often mitigate human-to-human transmission of enteric pat...
