People practicing open defecation (% of population)

This is the number of people by percentage (%) of the entire population “practicing” open defecation, according to this release.

Say ‘NO’ to open defecation

So, if the population of a country is 50m and you see a number (e.g. 40) in front of the country, then, it means 40% of 50m – so, the information is telling us that 40% of the 50m in that particular country is “practicing” open defecation.

Mathematicians/Statisticians in the building should be able to solve this, whatever you arrive at is the number of people that are actually “practicing” open defecation.

The information provided is incomplete as the population of the country is not mentioned, only the percentage of population is provided.

So, you (reader) need to carry out some research to determine the population of the country and use the percentage (%) provided to arrive at the actual number of people that are “practicing” open defecation in a country.

The information says the first ten countries are all African, encompassing Nigeria.
