Nearly half (41 per cent) of the population in Cross River State still have no <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unicef.org\/nigeria\/media\/5951\/file\/2021%20WASHNORM%20Report%20.pdf\">access to toilets<\/a>. Four out of ten people lack access to basic sanitation, and only eight per cent of schools and six per cent of public places have access to basic WASH services. These gaps highlight the urgent need for coordinated, system-wide action.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The new policy provides a clear framework to strengthen access to safe WASH services and improve public health and wellbeing across communities in Cross River State. It represents a shift towards stronger governance, clearer standards, and more sustainable service delivery for communities across the state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/selfhelpafrica.org\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/02\/policy-52-of-101-scaled.jpeg\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/selfhelpafrica.org\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/02\/policy-52-of-101-1024x576.jpeg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-19319\" srcset=\"https:\/\/selfhelpafrica.org\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/02\/policy-52-of-101-1024x576.jpeg 1024w, https:\/\/selfhelpafrica.org\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/02\/policy-52-of-101-300x169.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/selfhelpafrica.org\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/02\/policy-52-of-101-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/selfhelpafrica.org\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/02\/policy-52-of-101-1536x864.jpeg 1536w, https:\/\/selfhelpafrica.org\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/02\/policy-52-of-101-2048x1152.jpeg 2048w, https:\/\/selfhelpafrica.org\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/02\/policy-52-of-101-100x56.jpeg 100w, https:\/\/selfhelpafrica.org\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/02\/policy-52-of-101-877x493.jpeg 877w, https:\/\/selfhelpafrica.org\/uk\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/6\/2026\/02\/policy-52-of-101-1384x779.jpeg 1384w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Country Director of Self Help Africa, Joy Aderele, further stressed the need for inclusive governance and multi-sectoral collaboration to drive sustainable improvements in the WASH sector, she says: \u201c<em>Good WASH governance involves making the right decisions and implementing them effectively by leveraging partnerships for sustainable change within the sector.
