ABSTRACT
This thesis assesses the impact of CLTS programme as an innovation to ending open defecation in the Kumbungu District area of Ghana. The research sampled respondents using purposive sampling and convenience sampling technique was employed. Data were collected using questionnaire, observation and field notes. Major findings in the study revealed that; latrines are simply lacking and the few which are there are either poorly taken care of or over shared with several households with its attended possibility of increasing sanitation related diseases if proper maintenance of such latrines is not taken serious. Research has also established that evidence of knowledge of safe ways of disposal is there but such knowledge is too scanty and leads to poor adherence to precautions by adults to safe regulations and expert advice to safe child - stool handling. Sanitation situation in the households and community has improved positively since the last two years ie (from 2014 - 2016) translated into reduction of incidence of sanitation related diseases. Lastly, numerous efforts have also been employed by the communities and households to improve sanitation with regards to the ending of open defecation.
