From UNICEF:
We are pleased to announce the new WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme for Water Supply and Sanitation (JMP) 2017 Thematic Report: Safely Managed Drinking Water. The report considers the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) target for universal, equitable access to safely managed drinking water and outlines JMP plans for enhanced monitoring of drinking water in the SDG era. It also examines the availability of data on safely managed drinking water services.
New ‘ladders’ for monitoring drinking water services at home, at school and in health facilities are presented in the report, together with proposals for enhanced monitoring of inequalities and affordability of drinking water services. The WHO/UNICEF JMP 2017 Progress Update and SDG Baseline report will be published at the end of June.

WHO/UNICEF Water and Sanitation for Health Facility Improvement Tool (WASH FIT) and Mobile App launched
The tools were launched at a WHO/UNICEF Global Learning Event on WASH in health care facilities, held 28-30 March in Kathmandu. WASH FIT is a risk-based, step-by-step guide to undertaking WASH improvements as part of wider quality improvements in health care facilities. WASH FIT Mobile is an electronic version of the tool which allows easy data entry and analysis. The Mobile App platform, hosted by mWater, includes technical support and real-time trouble-shooting. The WASH FIT guide, and associated training materials, is available on www.washinhcf.org. WASH FIT Mobile is available at www.washfit.org
