Sustainable total sanitation in Nigeria

2012 - 2016 • WaterAid America Inc.

Purpose

To improve the effectiveness, efficiency, inclusion and sustainability of total sanitation approaches for the poor and underserved in Nigerian states and contribute to national and regional good practices.

Activities

WaterAid seeks to:
Achieve and sustain Open Defecation Free (ODF) status at the community and household level;
Embed best practices derived from project implementation;
Undertake formal research to understand the effectiveness of community-led total sanitation (CLTS), which is a community mobilization intervention, as well as sanitation marketing, which targets suppliers of sanitation materials, in increasing the coverage and use of improved sanitation; and
Influence the path to scale in terms of State-wide, national and regional policy and practice.
The project will build on WaterAid’s experience of applying context- and culture-modified variants of community-led total sanitation in Nigeria.
