36.87% of Somali households use unimproved sanitation facilities, with prevalence highest among nomadic populations (83.28%). This dataset is a secondary analysis of the 2022 Somalia Integrated Household Budget Survey (SIHBS), covering 7,212 households. Author Omar Muhumed Maidhane used multilevel logistic regression and spatial statistics to identify determinants and hotspots.
Use Cases
- Identify determinants of unimproved sanitation based on household and community-level factors mentioned in the description.
- Map spatial hotspots of sanitation access based on regional prevalence data like Hiraan (90.65%) and Bay (80.39%).
- Compare sanitation disparities across population groups based on data for nomadic, rural, and urban residents.
- Inform targeted intervention strategies based on the identified associations with housing type and displacement status.
Strengths
- Based on a national survey with 7,212 households, providing a substantial sample.
- Includes specific prevalence figures for different residence types (e.g., nomadic 83.28%, urban 23.88%).
- Identifies concrete spatial hotspots with regional prevalence percentages (e.g., Hiraan 90.65%).
Limitations
- Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
- Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
- The 5.5 KB file size suggests a very limited scope, likely containing summary results rather than raw survey data.
