Indicator

Indicator 1.4.1: Proportion of population living in households with access to basic services (electricity, safe water sources, sewage and Internet connection)
Indicator information

The basic services refer to the systems providing public services which meet the basic needs of the population, including access to safe drinking water, improved sewerage and hygiene, modern energy, mobility and transport, collecting solid waste, healthcare, education, green spaces (recreation) and information technologies.

The nationalised indicator 1.4.1 refers to a part of basic infrastructure services - the ones available in the households, and namely electricity lighting, safe water sources, improved sewerage system, connection to Internet.

The rest of the basic services to which the population has access, mainly outside the households, will be measured through other SDG indicators (on access to health services/SDG3, education/SDG4, transport/SDG9&11, waste and green spaces/SDG11).
