Household water, sanitation, and hygiene practices in Ghana from 1993–2022: a non-linear multivariate Poisson decomposition and traditional predictive modelling approach

Despite significant progress in WASH coverage in Ghana, inequities remain entrenched, particularly for rural and poorer households. Targeted interventions addressing structural inequalities in wealth, education, and infrastructure are essential to accelerate Ghana's progress toward universal WASH access and Sustainable Development Goal 6.
