The hygiene data is further divided into mobile or fixed handwashing facilities, and it can be observed from Figure 20 that a big portion of sub-Saharan African countries, including Kenya, use mobile handwashing facilities at home.

Another focus that the 2019 JMP report comprise of is that it draws special attention to women and girls, menstrual hygiene, and an emphasis on the inequality in water and sanitation provision. Figure 21 shows an example of urban/rural and economic inequalities in basic drinking water provision in some countries. 37 On the left graph, the inequality in the provision of drinking water between urban and rural areas are illustrated. The further the dots are, larger the gap between service provision. The right graph presents the inequality in provision based on your income groups. As observed in earlier graphs, the inequality in the provision of drinking water in Kenya in urban and rural areas are quite large. The inequality between the rich and the poor are even larger as shown in Figure 21.

37 The JMP metrics for assessing progress in reducing inequalities in WASH is included in the Appendix 10 for further reference.
