Assessing The Acceptability Of Ecological Sanitation Latrine Among Adults In The Tamale Metropolis

ABSTRACT

There is a high global burden of diseases that are related to poor sanitation. Developing countries including Africa are more affected and Ghana is not left out. Ecological sanitation (EcoSan) is a strategic comprehensive sanitation approach which integrates all aspects of sanitation and links sanitation with agriculture and food production. Faeces and urine serve as vehicles for transmitting many communicable diseases to man. This study was therefore to assess the acceptability of Ecological sanitation latrine concept in the Tamale Metropolis. A cross-sectional survey of adults sampled from both rural and urban communities of the Metropolis was the study design.
