Measuring rural water supply access : findings from a comparative analysis of Cambodian national surveys - project report, June 2006
Sameth, Chea | Levisay, Michael
This report describes the two sets of national data, both supposed to be describing the proportion of access to safe rural water supplies in Cambodia, and two completely different numbers. Before surveyors go into the field to collect data, officials of the Ministry of Planning undergo the training required for surveyors. Because there is no agreed upon national definition for access to an improved water supply, training for is done differently for each survey. To resolve the discrepancies between data sets, the definitions used for all national surveys regarding water supply (and sanitation) must be universal. Once a set of definitions is decided upon, these can be widely disseminated and training can be standardized for every national survey. The report identifies the Ministry of Rural Development as the agency best-positioned to take the lead in addressing the issues raised in this report, but requires strong cooperation from the National Institute of Statistics, the Ministry of Industry, Mines and Energy, UNICEF, WHO and others.
