openwashdata/rwpfunctionality

Water point monitoring data associated with the paper "Rural water point functionality estimates and associations: evidence from nine countries in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia". # rwpfunctionality This package offers users comprehensive documentation on surveys conducted to assess water point functionality and management committees. These surveys were carried out across nine countries in both sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia. The data was published alongside the article “Rural water point functionality estimates and associations: evidence from nine countries in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia” (Murray et al. 2024). ## Installation You can install the development version of rwpfunctionality from GitHub with: ``` r # install.packages("devtools") devtools::install_github("openwashdata/rwpfunctionality") ``` Alternatively, you can download the dataset as a CSV or XLSX file from the table below. | dataset | CSV | XLSX | |:-----------------|:------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------|:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------| | rwpfunctionality | Download CSV | Download XLSX | ## Project goal Sustained functionality of rural water systems is a global challenge. Addressing premature failures and unreliable performance of water points is crucial to achieve the 2030 Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6, which calls for universal and equitable access to safe and affordable drinking water for all (“Safely Managed Drinking-Water” 2017). As of 2020, 771 million people lacked a basic water service (“Progress on Household Drinking Water, Sanitation and Hygiene, 2000-2020: Five Years into the SDGs” 2021). Yet even for those with water services, unreliable water infrastructure that provides intermittent supply, or is broken down or abandoned, contributes to unsustainable and unsafe water acce …
