World Toilet Day

Released to coincide with World Toilet Day 2015, Unsettled: water and sanitation in urban settlement communities of the Pacific, highlights the reasons why thousands of families in Melanesia – Solomon Islands, Fiji, Vanuatu, and Papua New Guinea (PNG) – are unable to access basic water and sewage services.

The report makes a number of recommendations on how governments, utility providers, charities and donors can work together to improve access and affordability.

The event is taking place at the Samoa Tourism grounds at Eleele Fou.

The theme for this year is “Toilet First, Sanitation for All”. The focus is promotion and emphasis on building toilets according to Government’s set standards and guidelines.
