HISTORY

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT ISSUES
(WHEN GFR STEPPED IN)
 Engagement in Khirala was at all time low
 Partner NGO had funding for programs which were either
ineffective in their impact or were un-spent.
 The farmers suicide were still continuing to take place (they still
are continuing)
 In a highly dis-engaged community, there were just 4 highly
motivated and engaged young adults.
Community was being a barrier to its own
development – through lack of engagement
& participation

Community Visioning Workshops were held in 2011-12,
Village coordinator @ the local NGO was trained &
employed using the funds raised from cooking

VILLAGE VISION SHARED & ARTICULATED
BY THE COMMUNITY
This helped kick-start the community participation in
Khirala

SANITATION ISSUES IN KHIRALA
 Open defecation practice
– common norm
 50% of households have
no toilets
 Those who have toilets
don’t use them
 Using toilets considered
“gross” as it is adjacent
to cooking/sleeping/living
areas

WHAT IS CLTS?

COMMUNITY LED TOTAL SANITATION
(CLTS) - INTRO
 Sanitation program aimed at making
open defecation a community issue, as
opposed to individual issue.
 Involves community engagement
aimed at provoking thinking and
awareness
 Proven to yield sanitation outcomes, in
many developing countries.
 Builds community capacity for
collective action.
 Community who have implemented
CLTS are known to build on the
success to achieve other successes.
 Considered best practice in sanitation
program.

 Workshop facilitated by champion or change agent
 Community members participate
 Discuss ‘open defecation practice using gross (pun
intended!) facts and figures
 Questions are posed to evoke an emotional response
of disgust, loathing and embarrassment
 Workshop is a success IF at the end participants
voluntarily commit to getting their
village/community an Open Defecation Free (ODF)
status within a nominated time-frame
 At the close, local champions nominate themselves
for leading and implementing the CLTS to achieve
the ODF status at the end of the nominated time
frame
CLTS TRIGGERS A NEW NORM &
A DEMAND FOR TOILETS

officials and progressing the CLTS implementation.
 Community has been provided with info on low cost and
appropriate toilet design options to choose from.
 Local NGO will liaise with Govt. officials to organise funding
where applicable.
 Govt. officials committed to providing support where applicable.
 Once the community achieves the total sanitation goal – GFR is
