Column E11: Toilet Facility

Possible answers to this question are as follows:

Private:
1 Flush toilet
2 Pit latrine
3 Neighbour's Pit latrine

Communal:
4 Flush toilet
5 Pit latrine
6 Movable
7 None

A private toilet/latrine is one which has been built by a private household for its use. A toilet/latrine which is used by more than one household in the lolwapa is still private. They may
[p.52]
share it with neighbouring household(s) by private arrangement. If the toilet facility is private, circle 1, 2 or 3 as appropriate.

A communal toilet/latrine is one which has been built by the community or local authorities for use by members of the public. If the toilet facility is communal, circle 4 or 5 as appropriate. A movable toilet is a temporary and portable toilet facility often found on construction sites.

If none of the above applies, meaning that the household either uses river or bush, circle 7.

In the sample questionnaire in paragraph 139, the household gets its water from a well and they use a pit latrine. Code 4 is circled in column E10 and code 2 is circled in column E11.
