This paper by Anupma Verma of Knowledge Links, India, describes her experience of triggering CLTS with children in schools and villages.

She also incorporates her recent experience of triggering CLTS with children in Cambodia.

Note by Amrit Mehta of Knowledge Links, India, on his experience of CLTS triggering with children in schools as well as in villages. It shows that children can act as a powerful agents of change within communities.

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.

An example of how successful CLTS activities in one village can inspire and jump-start neigbouring areas into following suit. The story of Manera also shows the importance of ‘campaigns’ that carry the message of good sanitation and hygiene beyond the boundaries of a given community.
