Answer: 1

· The World Toilet Organization (WTO) is NOT an agency of the United Nations.

· It is a global non-profit organization founded in 2001 in Singapore to address sanitation issues.

· The WTO organizes the World Toilet Summit, celebrates World Toilet Day (on November 19), and established the World Toilet College to inspire action and address global sanitation challenges.

· The WTO’s main focus is on advocacy, capacity building, and policy influence — it does not provide direct funding to countries for ending open defecation
