The Survey library contains two "shelves" of information: standards and surveys. Standards assist you in gathering, understanding, and using high quality data for decision making in all things water, sanitation, hygiene (WASH) -related. Surveys are questionnaires that apply the standards.
Some of the supporting organizations who've created the standards are WHO, UNICEF, and SIASAR. For instance, the Joint Monitoring Program (JMP) is a popular standard for sanitation, drinking water, and others.|[[Image:Survey_library_promo.jpg|thumb|right|400px| link=Survey Library|Photo: Care.org]]|}{|!<h2 style="margin:0; font-size:130%; text-align:left; color:#535353; padding:0.2em 0.4em;">More news</h2>|-|[[Image:Tablet-Use-demo.jpg|right|200px|link=Handbook on Data Collection]]* '''SANITATION FIRST!!New guide''' 2: [[Handbook on Data Collection]].6 billion people in the world don't have access The AfriAlliance Handbook provides guidance on how best to develop a toiletdata collection project to ensure high quality data is collected and maximum impact is achieved.
