Meanwhile, the provinces with the lowest access to sanitation were Highlands Papua (12.61%), followed by Central Papua (41.44%) and South Papua (60.85%).

A household is considered to have improved sanitation access if it meets the following criteria:

• The toilet uses a water-sealed (gooseneck) closet.

• The final disposal of fecal waste is through a septic tank or a wastewater treatment system (WWTP).

• The facility is used exclusively by the household, shared with certain other households, or located in a communal sanitation facility (public MCK).
