  7. Why we selected UC Samaro

  8. Why CLTS Approach? • No hardware was required • No materials required • Time saving • No external technical expertise was required • Mostly latrines built by women & children • More innovative approaches by community (local material used) • Women were trainers & practitioners of CLTS approach • No external subsidy was required • Latrines built on self-help basis • Less expensive (Money saving) • Acceptable for poor households (no cost involved)

  9. Capacity Building of Community Activists (May 2007)

  10. Social Mobilization Sensitization & Awareness Through: • Community Activists (social mobilization) • WOMEN played a key role • Religious leaders (talking CLTS in juma prayer) • Teachers (Schools health and hygiene session) • Lady Health Workers (health sessions) • UC Councilors/ Nazims (reward, advocacy)

  18. Planning for solution (Action Plan)

  19. Case Studies • Oako ki Kahani – A natural leader • Hasan Shah Baghban – A woman who initiated before CLTS activities launched.

  20. Local solutions /Monitoring of progress • Using local materials & appropriate model (pit latrine etc). • Monitoring through local leaders • Establishment of monitoring system (Total HH, with /without latrine /currently using and target no. of households).

  21. Emergence of natural leaders during social mobilization process

  22. Local Solutions

  23. Lesson Learned • Women and children involvement played a key role in achieving the target of ODF. • Supportive role of UC /TMA Nazims in sustaining the change. • Regular monitoring by TRDP senior colleagues • No-resistance to change by communities (easily accepted the CLTS approach). • School teachers /religious leader role. • Experiencing the pit latrine in sandy area.

  24. Religious leader was found always one step ahead of other stakeholders

  25. Current Status (Oct 2008) • All five villages with 2289 households have stopped open defecation practice in open spaces. • Impact Assessment conducted by Lahore University of Management Sciences (LUMS) & RSPN. • CLTS initiative is being documented as part of the national CLTS documentation by RSPN.

  26. Moving on Sanitation Ladder • Most of HHs have improved their pit latrines in UC Samaro • The latrine design evolved & improved gradually. • There regular use of latrine is an evidence of behavior change.

  27. Moving on Sanitation Ladder • Stepping on 2nd step of CLTS: Solid Waste Management initiated with support from UC & Tehsil Nazim and RSPN’s technical support (Pak Rs 6.75 Million) • Stepping on 3rd step of CLTS: Low Cost Sanitation Mode launched with support from UC /TMA & RSPN/TRDP (Pak Rs. 4.39 Million) • Project Site is open for visitors of other RSPs /NGOs (UNICEF, WSP-SA, RSPs staff /community activists and many other local NGOs visited)
