What is it about?
The study revealed that the majority of households use latrines. However, these latrines are mostly unimproved. Open defecation is still practiced in some localities. This study provides the baseline situation for latrine use in the Far North and thus marks the starting point for any intervention to improve the situation of latrine access in this region.

Even more, it affects the health of people and seriously hinders their development as well as their mental and social well-being.
