Ghana: A Business Approach for Improved Sanitation – Organic Fertilisers and Energy as Drivers

The project facilitated the development of a business model. Safisana’s circular economy approach is modular and scalable in Sub-Saharan Africa. The efficient recycling concept will join efforts to solve the sanitation problem in Ghana. In addition, the use of compost in agriculture will improve soil fertility and increase yields and ensure sustainable year-round agricultural production, contributing to food security in Ghana.
