Gearing Up the Contextualization of the SDG-PSS
• ONAS is in charge of sanitation only in urban area (More than one data provider).
• Data on the access to improved sanitation is not produced annually (Census 2014) (Irregularfrequency of production).
• Data on WASH are released by MoH (Specific data provider/unpublished data).
• Lack of focused/direct studies on WASH (MICS4 2012): only epidemiological studies (Need of specific studies/unavailable data).
Translating limited/missing data …

Example: CAPACITY Component-Target 6.2
… to create evidence by using SDG-PSS
• Gathering all available data sources (national, international).
• Reaching concensus and working collaboratively within/betweeninstitutions to provide qualitatives/quantitative data.
• Participation of all actors to inform about limited/missing dataand means to provide them (frequency, accessibility, ...).
• Understanding where limited data stems from.9
