Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (a) 2 only
The World Toilet Organization, founded in 2001 and headquartered in Singapore, is an independent non-profit—not a UN agency—so Statement 1 is incorrect. It indeed runs initiatives such as World Toilet Summit, World Toilet Day and World Toilet College, so Statement 2 is correct. The body focuses on advocacy, awareness and capacity-building rather than grant-making; funding toilets in LDCs is not its primary function, so Statement 3 is incorrect. Therefore only statement 2 is correct (option a). ([en.wikipedia.org](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Toilet_Organization?utm_source=openai))
