Report from a national CLTS training workshop in Bwiam, Western Province, organised by UNICEF and the Gambian Ministry of Health & Social Welfare.

Brief report from a Training of Trainer’s workshop carried out by Knowledge Links (India) for the Department of Rural Health Care, Ministry of Rural Development (MRD) and UNICEF Cambodia.

This Field Note discusses the evolution of sanitation programming in UNICEF and the origins of CATS (Community Approaches to Sanitation). It examines each of the CATS essential elements and explores their implementation through country case studies. The case studies illustrate a range of methods under the CATS umbrella: Community-Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) in Sierra Leone and Zambia; School-Led Total Sanitation (SLTS) in Nepal; and the Total Sanitation Campaign (TSC) in India.

This comprehensive manual describes the concept of School-led Total Sanitation, its key components, key strategies and step by step activities, based on the implementation experience in Nepal.

Lessons drawn from the adaptation of CLTS to the urban context in Mauritania. Eight urban neighbourhoods in the town of Rosso, which has 32,000 inhabitants, are now ODF and 67 more are in the follow up phase.

This evaluation sought to asses the suitability of CLTS as the preferred approach to rural sanitation based on the experience with four CLTS pilot projects. It found that the pilots significantly improved sanitation coverage and practices in the communities within the 18 months of implementation and makes recommendations for adopting the approach as a national strategy.

Short update on the progress of CLTS in Mali, with data from a field assessment of the first ODF villages triggered in 2009. Includes photos. In English and French.

This report documents the application of CLTS in Nampula under the ASNANI project, with special emphasis on the lessons learned with respect to the triggering methodology, community and individual incentives, evaluation of open defecation free status, capacity-building needs and costs.

This paper shows the promising developments with school-led total sanitation in Nepal. In this approach, which combines CLTS with School Sanitation and Hygiene Education (SSHE), children act as the key agents of change.
