National sanitation policies

National sanitation policies are government plans and rules aimed at improving hygiene and waste management for citizens. They set standards for clean water, proper disposal of human waste, and waste treatment to prevent diseases and protect the environment. These policies promote access to sanitation facilities, encourage community participation, and ensure sustainable practices. By creating a framework for infrastructure development and behavior change, they help communities live healthier, safer lives while preserving natural resources. Ultimately, they aim to reduce health risks and ensure everyone has access to basic sanitation services.
