muk96 · Answer

Ans i) As a Civil Engineer, the five main reasons I think for majority of Ghanaians not to use their own private toilets are :
- For a significant number of people, private sanitation facilities are not feasible because of space constraints and insecure tenure in certain urban neighborhoods. The lack of space for construction of private toilets is found to be one of the biggest reasons as a barrier to owning private toilets.
- The practice of open defecation and/or public toilets in many communities has been going on for a long time i.e. Low sensitization towards the importance of owning a private toilet is another important issue. 
- Another important reason for not owning a private toilet could be low income in many households. Due to the financial constraints, a private toilet is not on the priority list for many families. Poverty and sanitation have been linked statistically for a long time.
- There are many areas in which people do not get sufficient and adequate water supply to sustain using a private toilet. In such cases, people resort either to open defecation or to public toilets where water supply is proper.
- Failure of implementation of proper sanitation laws by the local government is also a hindrance to private toilets reaching all households. Corruption and poor law enactment during planning settlements and laying water pipelines adds to already existing problems.
Ans ii) Five key recommendations for achieving SDG 6.2 could be :
- A well planned settlement should be the first thing to be focused on. As is found in many studies, lack of space is one of the biggest barrier for private toilet constructions, it becomes highly important plan settlements keeping individual sanitation in mind.
- The govt. can also introduce a scheme to pay a monetary sum to everyone who builds a toilet in their house. This scheme is already adopted successfully in many countries. 
- People need to be sensitized about importance of private sanitation using billboards, advertisements and other methods. Some of the benefits of private toilets like cleanliness, women safety, low risk of sanitation related illness should be emphasized upon to encourage more and more people to build their own toilets.

- A strong government that can keep strict check on corruption in implementation of schemes and enactment of laws will also play a big role in realizing the SDG 6.2 goal.

- Inadequate water supply and poor sewage system is another cause of open defecation and using public toilets which needs to be put into focus. It is only after every household has sufficient water for all its needs that goals towards private sanitation can be achieved.
