The 2018 School Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (SWASH) Assessment is the first comprehensive, nationally representative survey of primary and secondary schools designed to provide information about the status of safe drinking water, adequate sanitation and hygiene facilities as well as appropriate hygiene practices in Tanzania. Results from this assessment will be used to validate and complement administrative data that the ministries collect from schools on water, sanitation and hygiene services.
