About IMIS
IMIS is an open-source GIS-based Digital Public Infrastructure (DPI) which functions as both a municipal information system and a software solution, integrating data, processes, and services to enhance municipal governance—particularly in sanitation management with Citywide Inclusive Sanitation (CWIS) approach to achieve SDG 6.2. It offers municipalities data-driven decision-making tools to strengthen governance across various sectors. By leveraging open-source technologies and Geographic Information Systems (GIS), it facilitates:
- Planning, management, and monitoring of sanitation systems using the CWIS approach.
- End-to-end FSM (Faecal Sludge Management) service chain oversight, including real-time data tracking.
- Generation and visualization of CWIS indicators for performance assessment.
- Intuitive dashboards for tracking CWIS indicators, Key Performance Indicators (KPIs), and other essential municipal governance metrics.
Citywide Inclusive Sanitation (CWIS)
CWIS is an approach to achieve SDG 6.2 for safe, equitable and financially viable sanitation systems and services. CWIS ensures everyone in a city has access to safely managed sanitation, and human waste is safely managed along the whole sanitation service chain ensuring protection of the environment and human health.

CWIS approach focuses on service provision and its enabling environment rather than on building infrastructure, therefore, reliable data is the key success factor for CWIS. UN Water SDG 6 global acceleration framework has also identified data and information as one of the five accelerators of SDG 6 outcomes.
