Countrywater Access Jmp
A precise tool.
What is the Countrywater Access Jmp & How does it work?
The Joint Monitoring Programme (JMP) tracks progress toward universal access to safely managed water, a key indicator of public health and development.
Safely managed water access is defined as water from an improved source that is free from contamination and available when needed.
By calculating the proportion of a country’s population with safely managed water, policymakers can target interventions and monitor trends over time.
\text{P}_{\%} = \frac{S}{N} \times 100
P = percentage of population with safely managed water access, S = number with safely managed access, N = total population

What is safely managed water according to JMP?
Safely managed water is water from an improved source that is free from contamination and available when needed.
How do I calculate the percentage of population with safely managed water?
Use the formula P% = (S/N) × 100, where S is the number of people with safely managed water and N is the total population.
Why is monitoring safely managed water important?
Monitoring helps policymakers target interventions and track progress toward universal access to safe drinking water, which is crucial for public health and development.
What does JMP stand for in this context?
JMP stands for Joint Monitoring Programme, a program that tracks progress toward universal access to safely managed water.
Can I use this calculator for any country?
Yes, you can use this calculator for any country where JMP data on safely managed water is available.
What time frame does the JMP data cover?
The JMP data covers various time frames depending on when it was last updated, so it’s best to check the specific dataset you’re using for the most accurate information.
How often is the JMP data updated?
