The pattern appearing from the Takrabe data is more negative regarding sanitation services as the data demonstrate worse sanitation services compared to Kudze. The data also indicate much more modest interpretations of improvements, both among the poor and the non-poor households. As in Kudze, the non-poor households in Takrabe exhibit a greater propensity to make complaints over sanitation; that is to say, those who suffer most from inadequate sanitation complain the least.

Table 15 summarises the results in this category, showing both proportions and means, as well as the results of tests of significance, using the Pearson’s chi-squared and t-tests.
