Housing, Access to Sanitary Toilet and Electricity Map 5.7: Proportion of households having no electricity connection by upazila, Bangladesh 2011 73
Child Equity Atlas 5.4.1 In order to assess vulnerability and relative social deprivation status of households in different regions of the country, two additional indicators have been included which combine the indicators discussed before. The first is the combination of households without access to sanitary toilet and without electricity connection, and the second is households with access to both sanitary toilet and electricity. This combined household social deprivation measure shows that overall 43.3 per cent of households have access to both a sanitary toilet and electricity connection while 23.6 per cent have access to neither sanitary toilets nor electricity. There are, however, significant variations between districts and upazilas with respect to access to these utilities (see Maps 5.8 to 5.11). The relative status of districts with respect to these indicators is shown in Tables 5.5 and 5.6, depicting samples of best and worst performing districts only.

Comilla 8.5 Khagrachhari 50.8 Bangladesh: 23.6% 5.4.2 The performance of Bangladesh in some of these indicators on utilities and household facilities in this chapter should be viewed from many perspectives. While successive Governments continue to prioritize infrastructural development plus social investments, social movements, UN Agencies, donors, civil society and communities have made meaningful contributions in promoting the use of toilets, and reduced open defecation remarkably. According to WHO/UNICEF JMP (2012 22 ), 56 per cent of the population of Bangladesh has access to improved sanitation facilities, with remarkable reduction in open defecation to four per cent– successes attributable to multiple partnerships, Government leadership and community ownership of social development, including children engaged in whistle blowing and other aspects of Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS). This chapter of the Equity Atlas points the way forward to the pockets of persisting locations where further work is required in Bangladesh, to ensure equity in the pursuit of socioeconomic rights of children and women. 22 WHO/UNICEF 2012, Progress on Drinking Water and Sanitation: 2012 Update.http://www.unicef.org/media/files/ JMPreport2012.pdf Photo : Ibrahim Khan Moni 74
