Decades of manual data structuring have resulted in the most comprehensive and internationally-comparable information on Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) coverage. The WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme for Water Supply, Sanitation, and Hygiene (JMP) maintains the database. The data are shared openly but in spreadsheet-based proprietary software, not following FAIR data principles. Data stored in spreadsheets underutilizes the potential those data could have for purposes other than the national, regional, and global progress monitoring in WASH. This project aims to unlock this potential by developing open-source data and software packages adhering to FAIR data principles for sharing within the WASH community and beyond. The process involves hosting free learning events using open-source computational tools to empower community members with FAIR data competencies.
