Maturity Index Development

Benchmarking for Better Sanitation Data Systems

The Maturity Index Development initiative establishes benchmarks to evaluate the effectiveness of sanitation data systems. This initiative provides stakeholders with a framework to assess their systems and identify areas for improvement.

By defining clear criteria for system maturity, WSH Data Labs empowers utilities and municipalities to set achievable goals and measure progress.
