WASHKING bio-digester toilets for slums

Pay-per-use sanitation that becomes fertiliser WASHKING (Accra, Ghana) builds bio-digester toilets for dense neighbourhoods, reducing faecal waste by 90% and converting it into fertiliser. A pay-per-use model keeps toilets affordable while protecting dignity, safety, and hygiene. Impacc lists support for WASHKING as completed, treat this as a replicable pattern, not a live Impacc grant. What you can do - Study how pay-per-use sanitation funds maintenance without large upfront household costs - Partner with local cooperatives to adapt bio-digester designs to your settlement's layout - Connect fertiliser outputs to urban gardens or peri-urban farms How to participate - Visit WASHKING's portfolio page for programme history and contact paths Why it matters Sanitation is mutual aid infrastructure. When waste loops close into soil nutrients, communities gain health and food sovereignty together.

Ghana Cocoa Traceability System for smallholders

Track every bean from farm to European port Ghana's 800,000 smallholder cocoa farmers supply up to 65% of exports to the EU. The Ghana Cocoa Traceability System (GCTS), launched for the 2025/26 harvest with GIZ support, tracks beans from pod to port, proving sustainable production for European buyers while raising farm incomes. What you can do - Cocoa cooperatives: register farms on GCTS and keep GPS polygon maps current - Chocolate brands and buyers: source through traceable lots that meet EU due-diligence rules - Students and advocates: learn how traceability backs forest protection and child-labour safeguards How it works The Ghana Cocoa Board coordinates nationwide rollout; transparency platforms like SASI link Ghanaian farms with European ports such as Hamburg and Rotterdam. Why it matters Traceability turns a commodity crop into verified livelihoods, farmers benefit when the chain is visible.
