Overview of position	Need Statement: Access to drinking water, sanitation and hygiene is among the fundamental and basic human rights. Unfortunately, Afghans still have a long way to go and get access to this right. As per the latest report of MICS 2022/2023, access to at least basic sanitation is still as low as 44.5% with huge disparities between rural and urban, 66.7% and 36.9% respectively. 19.8% people defecate in open (1% urban, 26.2% rural). Basic hygiene stands at 58.3% with disparities of urban and rural again (67.7% in urban and 55.1% in rural). Under 5 child mortality still stands at 55/1,000 live births.
