Consider the following statements regarding World Toilet Organization : 1. It is one of the agencies of the United Nations. 2. World Toilet Summit, World Toilet Day and World Toilet College are the initiatives of this organization, to inspire action to tackle the global sanitation crisis. 3. The main focus of its function is to grant funds to the least developed countries and developing countries to achieve the end of open defecation. Which of the statements given above is/are correct ?

Answer: A. Only Statement 2 is correct. Statement 1 is WRONG. The World Toilet Organization (WTO) is a NON-PROFIT organisation founded by Jack Sim in Singapore in 2001. It is NOT a UN agency, though it works with UN bodies on sanitation issues. Statement 2 is CORRECT. WTO's flagship initiatives are the World Toilet Summit, World Toilet Day (November 19, officially recognised by UN since 2013) and the World Toilet College for sanitation training. Statement 3 is WRONG. WTO is an advocacy and capacity-building organisation; it does NOT have the mission of granting funds to countries. Its core function is awareness, training and policy advocacy, not financial grants. Source: World Toilet Organization official site + UN Resolution 67/291 on World Toilet Day.
