 Communication and Appropriation of Productive Sanitation in The Village of Napalgue in the Rural Commune of Dapelogo (Province of Oubritenga, Burkina Faso)Compaore Jerome International Journal of Asian Social Science, 2017, vol. 7, issue 9, 764-772 Abstract: Productive sanitation has been introduced in Burkina Faso at the end of years 2000. It aims to introduce using of latrines in rural areas, by the presupposition that productive sanitation can help solving the problem of autonomous sanitation and facilitate food self-sufficiency. For that, many community development projects have been developed and enabled the construction of more than 12000 Ecosan latrines in rural area. To enable the adoption of the ECOSAN by rural populations, a strategy of communication for behavior change has been set up. The general objective of the current study is to evaluate the importance of communication in the appropriation of Ecosan latrines by all the social stratum of the population at Napalgué. In a specific way, it has been to determine the role that communication had in collaboration with all the stakeholders, to ensure a good implementation of the project in the village of Napalgué.
