CLTS Foundation

CLTS Foundation CLTS Foundation strives to create a world free from open defecation through collective behaviour change by empowered local communities.

Community-Led Total Sanitation(CLTS) focuses on igniting a change in collective hygiene behaviour, which is achieved through a process of community-wide action stimulated by facilitators from within or outside the community. It involves no hardware subsidy and does not prescribe latrine models. Dr. Kamal Kar pioneered CLTS in Bangladesh in 1999. Since then it has been implemented in more than 60 c

ountries across the globe. It has been incorporated in the National Sanitation Strategy of at least 22 countries of which 14 are in Africa and the rest in Asia. The CLTS Foundation works through an international team of professionals, practitioners, researchers and policy experts to build capacity and influence policy for enhancing access to sanitation through CLTS.

An Open Defecation Free world will protect all of us, including you, from ingesting other people's S**T!

Institutional Triggering is a proven methodology for convincing senior- level decision-makers and WASH sector leaders about the strength and efficacy of the Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) approach. It also helps in breaking the traditional perspectives and myths regarding unwillingness, inability or lack of initiative of the poor to improve their own sanitation situation and liberate themselves from the drudgery and pangs of life through self-mobilization. If applied systematically, successful institutional triggering facilitates the process of enhancing the much-needed sanitation policy change at the national level which fast-tracks the spread and scaling-up of CLTS towards attaining the status of a respectable nation. There are many examples of systematic efforts to trigger high-level decision-makers that resulted in faster sanitation coverage through the scaling-up of CLTS.

Dr Kamal Kar's new book entitled Institutional Triggering: A Guide to Take CLTS to Scale has just been published. The book explains the need for Institutional Triggering as an important tool to complement the CLTS methodology and influence large institutions and powerful actors in WASH within the government ministry and outside to scale up the home-grown success of CLTS across their respective nations. It describes how facilitators can engage and interact with high officials and senior leaders and convince them to be proactive and act in spreading the success of CLTS to regions with poor sanitation.
