The Minister for Sanitation and Water Resources, Cecilia Abena Dapaah, has stated that, the ministry will continue to advocate for adequate provision and proper management of Water Sanitation and Hygiene ( WASH ) facilities in schools as a means of
helping to eradicate open defecation and provide sanitation for all.

This she said the Ministry’s efforts to eradicate open defecation and
provide sanitation for all, involves the collaboration with the
MMDAs and the Ministry of Education to provide and maintain these WASH facilities in schools.

However,she appeals to Members of Parliament to be advocates for improved WASH facilities in Schools in their constituencies and urge Metropolitan,
Municipal and District Assemblies to invest in WASH facilities for our basic and secondary schools.

Thus came to bear when the Member of Parliament for Akim Oda Mr. Alexander Akwasi Acquah asked the Minister for Sanitation and water Resources efforts being made to improve toilet facilities in various schools in the country.
