In 2020, 55 percent of the population in Sao tome and Príncipe had access to basic hygiene services, the highest coverage in Sub-Saharan Africa. On average, handwashing facilities with soap and water at home were available to nearly 40 percent of the urban population and 18 percent of the rural population in the region. The coverage varied, however, between countries. With the lowest performance, Rwanda registered only five percent of the population with access to basic hygiene services.
