Global and national reports indicate that despite the increase in coverage of infrastructure, inequalities in access remain.
The differences appear between urban-rural populations, households of different wealth levels, people with different levels of education, etc.
In the domestic context, inequalities occur between the urban and rural populations. In addition, intra-urban and intra-rural inequalities are also indicated, and to a large extent these are differences between the general and the Roma population.
