摘要

Access to sanitation and hygiene is a basic human right which is the lifeblood to good health. Sanitation and hygiene are fundamental to health, well-being, and poverty eradication and must be given a higher place in any agenda for future development. Despite high levels of awareness, sanitation coverage, subsequently the need for assessing the willingness and ability to invest in sanitation at household level remains a challenge. This study assessed the level of willingness and ability to invest in sanitation facilities by households in Busia County. The study adopted a cross-sectional design with a sample size of 421 households as respondent. Data was collected by use of structured questionnaires and analysis done based on descriptive and inferential statistics. Majority of the respondents 361(85.7%) were willing to invest in sanitation while 352(83.6%) self-reported as able to invest in sanitation. The population willing to invest was significantly different from that which was not willing and above the expected frequency in that category (z=14.65; CI = 0.4522 – 0.5478, p<0.05). In the same vein those who self-reported as able to invest, 352(83.6%) in sanitation was significantly different from the expected frequencies of 50% (Z=13.79, CI=0.4522 – 0.5478, p<0.05), hence the general self-reported ability was considered high among the study population. In conclusion, the study established that the level of willingness to invest in sanitation was high among the study population (87.5%), although this did not translate into similar levels ability. The high level of willingness was attributable to high levels of awareness on sanitation, key source of such information being the CHVs who are readily available within the community.
