The Impact of Pro-Poor Sanitation Subsidies in Open Defecation-Free Communities in Rural Ghana

Globally, 494 million people practice open defecation. Even after achieving open defecation-free (ODF) status through efforts such as Community-Led Total Sanitation (CLTS), communities, and particularly vulnerable households, may revert back to open defecation, especially when toilet collapse is common and durable toilets are unaffordable. There is increasing interest in pro-poor sanitation subsidies to help address these challenges. This webinar from USAID’s Water, Sanitation and Hygiene Partnerships and Learning for Sustainability Project will summarize a study that evaluated the impacts of a pro-poor sanitation subsidy program among 109 post-ODF communities in Northern Ghana.
