New Delhi promised to build hundreds of public toilets for the 2010 Commonwealth Games. Only 9 were built, and none of them are functioning. This short report from Al Jazeera’s Sohail Rahman highlights the fact that over 50 per cent of Indians have no access to clean toilets. It focuses on the lack of facilities in India’s growing cities and in schools. The report features rural development minister Jairam Ramesh, the inevitable Bindeshwar Pathak of Sulabh International and UNICEF India’s Suzanne Coates.

- Household Ecosan toilets in rural Ghana - an evaluation report - by: canaday January 25, 2021Dear Hajo, Linda, and everyone, According to the report, the local people seem to be accepting these UDDTs very well.
