There is a lack of assessment tool that causes suboptimal allocations and wastages of limited resources allover the world in general and particular in Pakistan. This research work aims to develop a framework for theprioritization of the Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) facilities. For this purpose, indices were developed forWater, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) facilities and their analyses and mapping were carried out in Excel and QGISrespectively. Their results show that although coverage provided by the PHE is good, but their maintenance is notsatisfactory, because of the bad maintenance maximum of the Improved Water Points (IWPs) are not working properly.Moreover, the prioritization of districts to improve WASH facilities is also carried out.
