Inadequate access to sanitation remains a persistent issue in sub‐Saharan African countries, affecting children, women, and workers. We employ dynamic panel estimation to uncover the empirical relationship between institutions and access to sanitation in sub‐Sahara Africa. We find that control of corruption, regulatory quality, and voice and accountability increase access to sanitation. Moreover, a dichotomy exists between rural and urban areas in that efficient corruption control, rule of law, and government effectiveness facilitate access to sanitation in rural areas. However, only voice and accountability matter in urban areas. These findings generate important policy implications in achieving universal access to sanitation. (JEL D72, O55, O180, P16)

撒哈拉以南非洲的机构是否更愿意访问布劳登？

在撒哈拉以南非洲国家，卫生设施不足仍然是一个长期存在的问题，影响到儿童，妇女和工人。我们采用动态面板估算来揭示撒哈拉以南非洲地区机构与卫生设施获取之间的经验关系。我们发现，控制腐败，监管质量以及话语权和问责制可增加人们获得卫生设施的机会。此外，城乡之间存在二分法，即有效的腐败控制，法治和政府效力促进了农村地区获得卫生设施。但是，在城市地区，只有声音和责任感很重要。这些发现对实现普遍获得卫生设施产生了重要的政策含义。（ JEL D72，O55，O180，P16）
