JMP Activities
The JMP’s 4 priority areas of activity for 2010-2015 are: 1. maintaining the integrity of the JMP database and ensuring accurate global estimates; 2. disseminating data to stakeholders; 3. fulfilling the JMP’s normative role in developing and validating target indicators; 4. enhancing interaction between countries and JMP.
In May 2013, the JMP released its latest estimates on the use of various types of drinking-water sources and sanitation facilities at the national, regional and global levels.
The JMP makes its data and information available through a variety of channels and formats, including workshops in countries, its major biennial reports and website (www.wssinfo.org), the UNICEF statistical website (www.childinfo.org), and through Google Public Data. The data are also used by the World Bank and the World Health Organization's Statistical Information System (WHOSIS).
The JMP collaborates with other international and national organizations to strengthen global and domestic monitoring. The Programme also plays an advocacy role, highlighting the right to improved drinking water and sanitation for populations missing out and helping to target interventions.
In preparation for the post-2015 period, the JMP has initiated four working groups which are developing potential future targets and indicators for water, sanitation, hygiene and equity/non-discrimination).

Famous quotes containing the word activities:
“If it is to be done well, child-rearing requires, more than most activities of life, a good deal of decentering from one’s own needs and perspectives. Such decentering is relatively easy when a society is stable and when there is an extended, supportive structure that the parent can depend upon.”
—David Elkind (20th century)
