a The percentages shown are based on the sample-weighted numbers of facilities for which the relevant data were available and not, always, on the numbers surveyed.

b The identification of a facility as urban or rural only occurred in the service provision assessments for five of the study countries: Bangladesh, Haiti, Malawi, Senegal and the United Republic of Tanzania

c In the assessments in nine of the study countries, donor support was defined as support from secular or faith-based organizations or other unspecified donors. In the assessment in Nepal, however, it was defined as support from sources other than government ministries, user fees and training colleges.
