Sustainability is without doubt one of the most burning subject matters that subsumes many of the issues that we are seeing in Community-Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) and wider Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) practice. There have been several useful studies on sustainability that have highlighted some of the different aspects as well as the complexities involved. However, it is unclear how much of the learning from these studies has been built into current and future programming and practice.
Based on existing research and our own understanding, this issue of Frontiers of CLTS is an attempt at an up to date synthesis of where we are at the beginning of 2015.
In the issue, we identify some priority areas for learning:
- How to phase in sanitation marketing
- Post-open defecation free engagement of government, NGOS, donors and others
- How to ensure equity and inclusion
- How to transform social norms
- Monitoring, learning, changing.
