Organizations should footnote all assumptions used.
This metric is intended to capture the types of WASH services available onsite at the project or investee level (for example, at a school, health center, home, or other location). Organizations should report this metric in combination with Availability of Basic Services/Facilities (PI0617) to capture the availability or quality of services provided. To capture the number of individuals who have improved access to and use of WASH services, organizations should report this metric in combination with Client Individuals: Provided New Access (PI2575) and Service Level Type (PD5205).
Organizations may choose to disaggregate sanitation facilities by sewered and non-sewered offerings.
For further definitions and details on what each type of WASH services includes and requires, organizations can refer to the criteria set forth in the Joint Monitoring Programme's Service Ladder for Handwashing (https://washdata.org/monitoring). For example, for menstrual hygiene waste disposal, mechanisms can include incineration or another safe method on-site, as well as safe storage and collection via a municipal waste system, as appropriate.

Immaterial change. Minor revisions to definition and usage guidance for clarity.
IRIS Metrics Work Better in Sets
To use IRIS metrics—and the resulting data—to understand impact performance, IRIS metrics should be used and analyzed in generally accepted sets and according to well-defined objectives. IRIS+ gives you access to generally accepted Core Metrics Sets aligned to common Impact Themes and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
