falseAlthough the lack of access to appropriate sanitation, hygiene and water services is not the root cause of violence, it can lead to increased vulnerabilities to violence of varying forms, with incidences reported from a wide range of contexts. In response, the SHARE Research Consortium has developed a toolkit designed to help practitioners to better recognise the risks of violence linked to water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) and provide guidance on what WASH practitioners can do to reduce these vulnerabilities to violence.

In order to address sanitation challenges, accelerate access and sustained use of latrines coupled with good hygiene practices such as hand washing Uganda’s Ministry of Health, together with Plan Uganda, has produced handbooks on sanitation marketing. The aim is to increase awareness and harness momentum for uptake of Sanitation Marketing among stakeholders such as government at policy making level, line ministries, district local government structures and civil society organizations.

Many of you have a lot of experience to share on CLTS. But often, documentation and sharing is inhibited by the belief that it's difficult to write or that here is a right or wrong way of doing it. Blogs are a great and easy way to share your experiences, views, reflections and opinions as well as raising questions and starting discussions with the global community of CLTS and WASH practitioners. They can be short, informal and personal in tone and therefore easy for anyone to write.
