Section 2 - Housing facilities




H12 -- Toilet facilities
175. There are instances where several households share the same toilet facility and in this case, the toilet facility is used in a communal way. Where only one household uses the toilet facility, we say it is private.

176. Ask, 'What kind of toilet facility do you have'? If the answer is "Pit latrine", you also want to find out if exclusively his/her household uses the pit latrine. If the answer to the question is "Yes", then the toilet facility is 10, but if the answer

[p.23]

indicates that other households share the facility, you record it as 04. Refer to the code list).

177. Some communities use the bush/riverbed. Here, the use of the bush or riverbed is communal and therefore should be recorded as 06. Only one code is allowed.
