Jawzjan has a total population of 512,100. There are 50,900 households in the province, and households on average have 7 members.

page 1 of 8 Water and sanitation

Basic hygiene provided by safe drinking water and adequate sanitation are the most effective strategies to improve the health status of the population. There is evidence that globally provision of adequate sanitation services, safe water supply, and hygiene education represents an effective health intervention that reduces the mortality caused by diarrhoeal disease by an average of 65 percent, and the related morbidity by 26 percent (WHO 2001). Provision of safe, convenient and sustainable water and sanitation services will not only result in reduced morbidity and mortality (particularly under five mortality), but also reduce health costs and increase worker productivity, school attendance and overall well-being. Drinking water MDG Indicator 7.8 The National Risk and Vulnerability Assessment (NRVA) 2011-12 Proportion of the population inventory of community preferences for development among male and using improved drinking water female Shuras emphasized the importance of water supply, as they sources assigned it top priority. The household survey recorded that access to improved drinking water sources2 is available to 46 percent of the 45.5 population of Afghanistan. Compared to the results of the NRVA 2007- 08 round this indicates a sharp increase of the share of the population with safe drinking water from 27 to 46 percent. The situation especially improved in rural areas, where the share of the population using improved sources almost doubled between 2007-08 and 2011-12 from 20 to 39 percent. If this rate of improvement is continued, the ANDS target of 61.5 percent in 2020 will easily be achieved.

Large differences are observed in the share with access between the urban population on the one hand (71 percent) and the rural and Kuchi populations on the other (39 and 21 percent, respectively). Similar differences exist between the provinces, with access ranging from 7 and 9 percent in Urozgan and Zabul to 67 and 78 percent in Balkh and Kabul. Close to half the population (49 percent) – equivalent to 14.7 million people – relies on surface water for their main source of water and 28 percent on hand pumps (an improved drinking water source). The reliance on piped water (improved source) is 9 percent overall, but with 26 percent it the most important source in urban areas.

The time to reach the main source of drinking water varies significantly by residence, and especially for rural households. Overall, Afghan household members – usually women and children – have to walk on average six minutes to reach the nearest water point and another six minutes to walk back. This average time hides a substantial variation, as 50 percent of the households need only one minute or less and some 11 percent requires half an hour or more for a return trip. For urban households, the mean time to reach the water point is only one minute and close to 80 percent has water in or next to the dwelling. The corresponding share of rural households without travel time is half of this (39 percent) and for Kuchi only 15 percent.

2Improved sources of drinking water in NRVA include: hand pump (private or public), bored wells, protected spring, piped water (private or municipal); unimproved sources include: surface water (open well, unprotected spring, kariz, river,lake, channel, pool, drainage), water tanker, bottled water.

The 2011-12 NRVA found that 8.3 Proportion of population using an percent of the population used improved sanitation facilities. Compared improved sanitation facility3 with NRVA 2007-08, the present survey shows relative improvement up from 5 percent, but in absolute terms the share of the population with 8.3 improved sanitation remained very low. The most commonly-used sanitation facilities are a covered latrine and open pit (respectively 57 percent and 19 percent; both considered unimproved) (data not shown). Darean and open field or bush (open defecation) are used by 15 percent of the population. The situation for the urban population is considerably better, as here up to 29 percent of the population has access to improved sanitation.

WHO and UNICEF recently apply a more refined definition of the quality of sanitation, by distinguishing private and shared facilities within the category of improved sanitation (WHO-UNICEF 2013). Using this additional criterion, only 6 percent of the population – 19 percent in urban areas, 2 percent in rural areas and none of the Kuchi – rely on the most adequate method for sanitation.

3Improved sanitation includes flush latrine and improved latrine; un-improved sanitation includes open pit, traditional covered latrine, darean and without facilities. The NRVA 2011-12 did not differentiate beyond these categories and consequently could not identify types of improved sanitation currently included in the unimproved categories. The actual share of population with access to improved sanitation is expected to be higher than 8.3 percent. page 3 of 8 Settled Population of Jawzjan by Civil Division, (Urban, Rural and Sex) based on 2012-2013/NRVA
