Highlights

The factsheets provide an evidence-based overview of the Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) and Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) situation in the United Republic of Tanzania and Zanzibar. They highlight progress, gaps and inequalities in WASH access and services across households, schools and healthcare facilities, and the broader impacts of WASH and MHM on poverty, nutrition, health and child development. These factsheets serve as an important resource for policymakers, development partners and practitioners seeking to strengthen WASH outcomes and improve the well-being of children across the country.
