The WASH revolving fund, established in partnership with the Nandom Rural Bank, has enabled 180 beneficiaries to access loans at 10 percent interest, with a remarkable 94 percent repayment rate, supporting women, youth, and vulnerable households to invest in sanitation enterprises and income-generating activities. The book also tells the remarkable story of how Nandom became Ghana's first open defecation-free district in June 2019-a testament to the power of evidence-based advocacy, political leadership, and community participation. …
