Financing sanitation in rural areas through microcredit is an innovation intended to compensate for resource insufficiencies, the viability of which is a guarantee of its sustainability. The aim of this article is first to present the mechanism for acquiring dry urine diversion toilets in rural areas by granting microcredit to households. Then an econometric analysis of the determinants of the microcredit repayment rate for ecological toilets in rural areas in the Bouafle department was carried out on household survey data collected from 2014 to 2017. Our study sample is composed of 133 households. Using a linear regression in STATA, we highlight new results: the use of biofertilizers (sanitized urine and feces) in agriculture, cocoa productivity, the frequency of monitoring as well as strong leadership of the chiefdom favored the reimbursement of the said microcredit.
