Technical Guidelines for Household Latrine Design and Construction
By UNICEF / KNUST · 14 October 2019
The document for household latrine design and construction was developed in the framework of generating demand under the Sanitation Marketing (SanMark) programme for implementing the Rural Sanitation Model and Strategy in Ghana. This document will provide basic knowledge on household latrine design and construction to latrine artisans, Environmental Health Officers(EHOs), Community Led-Total Sanitation (CLTS) Field Facilitators, Technical Service Providers (TSPs), Community Technical Volunteers (CTVs), Natural Leaders and other WASH actors so they can ensure the construction of appropriate latrines.
