Ghana’s low access to adequate and safe compound sanitation signals a need for sanitation financing. It also suffers from an over-reliance on unhygienic public toilets, open defecation and inappropriate disposal of feces. WSUP is therefore implementing a citywide sanitation project using a holistic approach. It aims to improve sanitation outcomes under USAID’s Sanitation Service Delivery Program.

It focused on providing micro-finance institutions (MFIs) a clear understanding of the most suitable customer segments for their toilet loan product. It also provided insights on cost incurred by households in accessing toilet loans and capture their perceptions of an ideal toilet loan.Approach
