  7. Challenges • Negative cultural beliefs- centralized feaces, sharing with in laws, children and adults • Low value attached to construction and usage of latrines • Communities indicate there is high cost & time related to construction of latrine( digging pit) • Lack of skills and tools for construction • Environmental conditions- hard rock formation and high water tables • Latrines not prioritized- people prefer open, airy places-latrines smell Giving Hope to a World of Need

  8. Lessons learnt • Follow up Crucial • for both demand driven and subsidy. Case of CLTS soon after triggering ensure that communities keep up the pace and momentum in the progression towards attaining total sanitation. • Joint reviews and sharing of Results • Encourages households that have lagged behind effecting the collective decision to act sooner. • Close collaboration with Government • The close working relations developed between the project team and the Ministry of public health and sanitation has ensured systematic monitoring of progress at community • Role of Local/Natural Leaders- central/key • It’s important to offer support supervision to the community based committees/natural leaders taking lead the process to ensure efforts remains viable and on track.
