Visiting Aklamakpetoe community as a part of our assignment in the ODF2030 project (Picture: Attipoe Israel Makafui)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The co-operation with LAB University of Applied Sciences and Ghana has lasted for years. Last summer two teachers from LAB visited Ghana and two students worked in summer 2022 for ODF2030 \u2013 Sustainable Sanitation for Ho Municipality, Ghana project, funded by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Finland and implemented by the Global Dry Toilet Association of Finland, Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4 and LAB Universities of Applied Sciences, Ho Municipal Assembly (HMA) and Ho Technical University (HTU). The project\u2019s aim is to achieve total sanitation in Ho Municipality by the year 2030 (JAMK 2022).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Education is fundamental for a nation to develop<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Awunyo is part of the 16 artisans\u2019 group which have been taught how to build the UDDT facility. Teaching the locals, in this case to build the facility and its special technology, is the key for getting all the benefits out of the development projects. Also, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Finland&#8217;s development policy highlights the cooperation to reinforce the nations own carrying capacity (The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Finland). Educating and involving the locals in the ODF2030 \u2013 project does not only benefit achieving the goals of the project, but it also benefits families and communities, and in a longer term the whole nation. As only 10.3 % of Ghanaians have continued their studies after finishing Senior High School (Ghana Statistical Service 2019, 19), it is quite clear, that any work-preparatory teaching is an essential part of development cooperation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Aklamakpetoe, like in most of the Ghanaian villages, the main source of income is farming. Mr Awunyo, the artisan, is also a farmer. Awunyo has been so thrilled about all the benefits the UDDT facilities have offered for his community that he has even built facilities for others. However, without a certificate his possibilities to build new ones is hindered, preventing also expected extra income.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/blogit.lab.fi\/labfocus\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2022\/10\/545_2022_Teaching-and-learning-about-sustainable-sanitation-in-Ghana_p2-1024x512.png\" alt=\"A group of people standing outside a building.

It is a privilege to be a part of the project and witness its steps towards development (Image 2). Small steps take time, but luckily the development cooperation will continue as the ODF2030 project got new grant for 2023-2026 by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Finland (Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Finland 2022). Hopefully the educational co-operation with LAB and HTU will continue, in one form or another. This will also give great opportunities for Ghanaian and Finnish students and teachers to learn from one another&#8217;s cultures and to develop a more sustainable future together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group has-background\" style=\"background-color:#b3edfb\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container is-layout-constrained wp-block-group-is-layout-constrained\">\n<p>Authors<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Pia Haapea<\/strong> is a Principal Lecturer of Energy and environmental engineering, in LAB University of Applied Sciences and has been involved in co-operative projects in Ghana for several years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Paula Schroderus <\/strong>is a second-year energy and environmental engineering student at LAB University of Applied Sciences.
