WHO and UNICEF publish a Joint Monitoring Programme (JMP) report biannually to assess the status of household use of improved water sources76. According to the most recent JMP estimates, 92 per cent of people in China had access to improved water sources in 2012. The use of improved water sources was 85 per cent in rural areas, 13 percentage points lower than that in urban areas. JMP estimates on household use of improved water sources differ from the corresponding figures reported by NHFPC/NPHCCO (Figure 7.1) and published in the China Health and Family Planning Statistical Yearbook 77.
