Taller de reflexion: Experiencias de la implementacion del SANTOLIC en Bolivia

Desde la introducción del SANTOLIC a Bolivia en 2006, se han tenido experiencias en diferentes regiones en Bolivia y de diferentes organizaciones o instituciones, cuyos resultados están relacionados a las potencialidades y limitaciones del método. Por otra parte, se ha intentado “bolivianizar” el método, sin embargo no se ha podido sistematizar esta evolución en cada una de las regiones y considerando la pertinencia social, cultural y técnica.

El objetivo de este taller de reflexión fue el intercambio de experiencias de implementación del método en las distintas regiones con el fin de analizar las posibilidades de ampliación, como parte de la política pública para reducir las brechas en la cobertura de saneamiento en las zonas rurales de Bolivia.

Hope out of conflict – How sanitation plays a vital role in protecting women and children from sexual violence in DRC

Working in the North-Kivu province of DRC, the Programme de Promotion de Soins Santé Primaires is using an integrated and holistic approach that includes CLTS to address the linked problems of sexual violence and sanitation which affect women and children. Adopting a CLTS approach, and working in schools and health clinics, maternal and child health in the area has improved, and the increase in household latrines have reduced the vulnerability of women.

Training Guide for CLTS Facilitators (Uganda)

This manual intends to guide community facilitators in promoting the CLTS approach for improved sanitation and ensuing benefits. The handbook outlines the background to CLTS as well as its potential in bringing about positive behaviour and enumerates a step by step guide to promoting CLTS. It is hoped that this handbook will inspire trainers, practitioners, managers and policy-makers to ensure high standards of preparation, facilitation and follow up support; and that it will discourage target oriented approaches which degenerate into counting latrines and meeting targets for their construction, instead of assessing with rigorous standards the numbers of communities that truly achieve ODF status.
