Title
IDS - Handbook on
Community-Led
Total Sanitation
Abstract
The CLTS approach originates from Kamal Kar’s evaluation of WaterAid
Bangladesh and their local partner organisation – VERC’s (Village Education
Resource Centre is a local NGO) traditional water and sanitation programme
and his subsequent work in Bangladesh in late 1999 and into 2000. This led
to the discovery of the CLTS approach in which use of PRA methods
enables local communities to analyse their sanitation conditions and
collectively internalise the terrible impact of OD on public health and on
the entire neighbourhood environment. (See APPENDIX A Page 76) for details.
When triggered systematically and combined with ‘no-hardware subsidy’
policy and a hands-off approach by the facilitator, CLTS could provoke
urgent collective local action to become totally ODF. A new style of facilitation
has evolved. In its classic form, this uses the crude local word for “shit” and
encourages local communities to visit the dirtiest and filthiest areas in the
neighbourhood. Appraising and analysing their practices shocks, disgusts
and shames people. This style is provocative and fun, and is hands-off in
leaving decisions and action to the community.
