Interviewer instructions

- NO LATRINE means that there is no proper toilet or latrine available for the household.
- FLUSH SYSTEM means the latrine is equipped to flush away waste, either by tank, or manually using a bucket or pitcher. Waste is disposed of through a duct connected to a sewer.
- SEPTIC TANK is the same as above, except that waste is flushed into a septic tank.
- OTHER LATRINE is to be used for example for latrines connected to uncovered canals or ditches for waste drainage.
