BWPD is a data-driven exercise with an objective to highlight the key inadequacies in WASH service delivery and guide country and sector priorities for maximum impact during the Sustainable Development Goal era. BWPD gives a snapshot of the quality and inequality of WASH access by generating statistics from numerous datasets.

Further, the generated numbers should help government and other stakeholders identify gaps in service delivery and ask questions on why these gaps exist.
