| Innovation for better sanitation |
|
The theme for this year's World Toilet Day is toilets and jobs. Both in India and Ethiopia, IRC supports local entrepreneurs who are using innovative solutions to provide better sanitation. In Burkina Faso, we are celebrating World Toilet Day jointly with local and national government to promote sanitation for all.
We are proud to launch the beta version of the Faecal Waste Flow Calculator, the latest edition to our WASH Toolkit. A companion urban sanitation diagnostic tool is under development.
