…. the sanitation sector is in alarming state. 22% of the population (more than 23 million people) still practice open defecation, only 7% has access to basic sanitation and three quarters of schools have no improved WASH facilities. FINISH Mondial Ethiopia started in 2018 and has successfully contributed to building the Ethiopian sanitation ecosystem. It has been nationally recognised for its work, notably receiving the CCRDA award in 2023.
