Communities in the Volta Region will soon achieve the open-defecation-free status with the introduction of a new toilet technology that allows faecal matter to be used as a manure on farms after two years.

This was revealed by the Ho Central Municipal Planning Officer, Mr Cornelius  Fugah, in an interview with Joy News.

He was speaking initiatives to improve sanitation and end open defecation in some communities in the  Ho Municipality.

According to him, the technology which was launched in collaboration with the LAHTI University of Finland is aimed at ensuring that every household and school in the Ho Municipal Assembly has access to good, portable toilet facility.

According to him, the toilet is a urine-divert dry-toilet which allows human waste to be used on farms as manure.
