Note: This information is based on the cumulative coverage reported by DPHE (counting from 2003) but after SIDR, AILA and Mohsen huge numbers of sanitation infrastructure were damaged which has not deducted and even there is no recent assessment or survey on it. They have no data about the use of Unhygienic Latrine but they think it would be 45% of H/H and total 2.5% would be open defecation.
