Networking and action learning to support CLTS

2012 - 2014 • CLTS Knowledge Hub at Institute of Development Studies (IDS)

Purpose

To accelerate the adoption of Community-led Total Sanitation (CLTS) by enabling communities to take action to end open defecation and adopt hygienic behaviors, leading to improved dignity, health, and well-being of the impoverished.

Activities

Our intention is to support the scaling up of CLTS with quality and sustainability. To this end, we engage in the following activities:

action learning, networking and dissemination,
co-convening workshops for sharing and learning,
the CLTS website and bi-monthly newsletter

We proactively co-generate and co-create practical knowledge, find out about and share innovations, and seek to make all this widely and quickly accessible. Through making linkages between organisations and between people, and encouraging and supporting champions, we seek to add to the energy and momentum behind CLTS. We co-convene learning and sharing workshops collaboratively with other organisations. We seek to facilitate South-South exchanges, and the generation of insights leading to practical outputs. We synthesise, analyse and publish, and fund translations of key materials. We strive to be nimble and relevant and continuously alert in spotting how to make a difference.

History and Funding

The Potential of Community-led Total Sanitation . Until 31st December 2009, the action learning and networking aspect of this work continued as the project Sharing Lessons, Improving Practice: Maximising the potential of Community-Led Total Sanitation funded by Irish Aid From 1st January 2010 to the 30th September 2014, this work was funded by the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.
