CLTS Training Consultant
RWSSP
1. Background
Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) is a new approach for developing rural sanitation. CLTS is an approach to inspire and empower communities to stop open defecation and start using sanitary toilets, without use of external subsidies. CLTS uses a participatory analysis of the community sanitation to stimulate a collective sense of disgust and shame among the community members as they confront the crude facts about open defecation. This analysis triggers the realization among community members that they each need to change their habits and behavior. The facilitators help the community members realize that open defecation causes ill health and an unpleasant environment, and thus inspire and empower them to find locally appropriate sanitation solutions.
