The decrease in the percentage of slum dwellers is mostly due to a change in the definition of adequate sanitation. In 2005, only a proportion of households using pit latrines were considered slum households, whereas in 1990 and 2001 all households using pit latrines were counted as slum households.

Used DHS 2004 to estimate 2005 slum.

In estimating solid fuel use for a given year, the methods developed and implemented by the WHO/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Programme for Water Supply and Sanitation (WHO & UNICEF 2006 ) were followed. Solid fuel information is either extrapolated (single year data point), averaged (two or more years that are spaced four or fewer years apart) or a linear regression is performed when solid fuel use information is available for two or more years that are spaced at least five years apart.
