The data playground provides access to the entire WPdx dataset and offers users the opportunities to filter based on geographical or other categorical.
Advanced analytical tools have been developed to enhance the WPdx dataset and help governments and their partners improve decisions being made on a regular basis.
The amount of water point data being collected is growing rapidly as governments and development partners increasingly monitor water points over time. Without harmonization among these different data sources, the opportunity for learning will be limited, with the true potential of this information remaining untapped.
the opportunity
By establishing a platform for sharing water point data throughout the global water sector, WPdx adds value to the data already being collected. By bringing together diverse data sets, the water sector can establish an unprecedented understanding of water services.
Sharing this data has the potential to improve water access for millions of people as a result of better information available to governments, service providers, researchers, NGOs, and others.
WPdx is the global platform for sharing water point data.
We have over
663907
records from 54 countries
Turn water point data into insights.
our approach
convene

collaborate
Collaborate with the WASH community to increase sharing of harmonized data using data standard.
maintain
Maintain platform to enable data sharing and open access.
support
Support learning and evidence-based decision-making using harmonized data and advanced analytical tools.
Global Water Challenge and the Water Point Data Exchange (WPdx) are excited to announce the launch of the development of a water, sanitation, and hygiene
Before WPdx, the selection of the location of water points was done by assumption and political decisions. Today, our district planning officers and national budget officers are using WPdx tools to reduce duplication and improve resource allocation in the country.
[WPdx] is going to improve our [the Ministry's] performance. Now, we can share data internationally, and then we can be able to benchmark our performance at the global level. It is going to give us informed decisions based on data that can enable us to allocate resources, allocate facilities equitably, and improve our planning and budgeting process.
With WPdx, I can now predict and calculate the probable cost for the rehabilitation and construction of new wells.
