| Abstract | The Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) target 6.2 focuses on ensuring that everyone has access to adequate sanitation and hygiene services by 2030. This study harvested data from the 2021 Joint Monitoring Programme (JMP) report of the SDG target 6.2 to assess the progress on sanitation and hygiene in sub-Saharan Africa (SSA) countries. The sanitation and hygiene data for countries in SSA were extracted and analyzed to determine the progress towards the attainment of the SDG target 6.2. The analyses revealed that the rate of annual progress for at least basic sanitation (0.50%) and basic hygiene services (0.22%) in SSA from 2015 to 2020 was very low. However, the t-test results showed that there were significant differences in the proportion of the population using at least basic sanitation (t47 = -7.910, p = .000, α = 0.05), open defecation (t47 = 6.517, p = .000, α = 0.05) and basic hygiene (t36 = -3.830, p = .000, α = 0.05) services from 2015 to 2020. In spite of the t-test results, the projected coverage for basic sanitation and basic hygiene services by 2030 were 38% and 28.2%, respectively, which showed that SSA might miss the SDG target 6.2, if urgent measures are not taken to address the situation. It is therefore recommended that a detailed audit of the sector should be carried out in each country to identify areas that need urgent interventions and scale up of activities. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
