USAID and Rural Water Supply Network (RWSN) present:

The WASH Data Clinic Webinar Series 

featuring the DHS WASH Atlas

Are you responsible for deciding where to invest or implement WASH programs?

USAID's first Data Clinic provided a practical demonstration of the Demographic and Health Surveys (DHS) WASH Atlas. Attendees learned how to use sub-national data to pinpoint priority areas for WASH investments. The WASH Atlas currently includes data for Ethiopia, Haiti, Liberia, Madagascar, Mali, Nigeria, Rwanda, Uganda, and Zambia—with additional countries coming by spring 2025.

Who Is This For? Decision-makers, program implementers, and data analysts engaged in planning and managing WASH programs.

If you have suggestions for future topics, tools, or datasets, please contact, Katy Sill, [email protected] and Muthi Nhlema, [email protected].
