Limitations

This study presents some limitations that should be considered when reading the findings. As mentioned earlier, as a result of the current pandemic, random sampling could not be used to recruit research participants. In compliance with the ethical protocol, the study relied on people who were in a state to take part in the study. It is also because of the current pandemic, the survey was conducted via online, although an effort was made to administer a face-to-face interview to people with no access to internet or smart phone, the total number of people in this category is minimal, and not followed the structured questionnaire. This means that the views of people with no access to the internet are not well reflected in the study. Due to these factors, we make no claim that the study is representative of the country’s population; nevertheless, the study provides rich insights into WASH and waste disposal practices of the population around the country, as research participants were drawn from most districts in the country.
