Low Lights
• Lack of access to safe
water in ODF
communities impedes
the practising of
hygiene behaviors.
• Institutionalization of
CLTS and up scaling
beyond Plan’s
operational areas.
Low Lights
• Latrines collapsing in
ODF and triggered
villages due to loose,
collapsing soils and
heavy rains.
Low Lights
• The big number of
elderly people in some
communities in Luwero
has slowed the ODF
attainment process.
Remedies:
• A one year grant was secured with support of UKNO
to enhance access to safe water in ODF communities.
• Advocated and supported three districts to utilize the
new sanitation funding to scale up CLTS in non Plan
operational areas.
• Linked masons to ODF villages, retrained masons in
latrine designs suitable for collapsing soils.
Remedies
• The VHTs have
embarked on supporting
the elderly to construct
the latrines through self
help.
High Lights
•
50 villages have
reached ODF out of 78
triggered villages in the
two districts.
•
Nominated to
represent UWASNET
members on the
Global sanitation fund
steering committee.
High Lights
• Contributed to the
development, printing
and dissemination of the
national CLTS manuals.
Lessons Learned:
• Planning for CLTS implementation should be
comprehensive and include monitoring,
verification, and follow up for up to two years
after ODF to ensure sustainability.
• To achieve massive impacts in sanitation,
responsible government line ministries have
to be in the lead.
Lessons Learnt:
 Effective and exemplary leadership of the
community resource persons reinforces
positive sanitation behaviour change and
consequently attainment of ODF status.
Lessons incorporated in
CLTS Program
• Post monitoring has continued in ODF villages as well
as linkage to VSLA and masons.
• Signed MoU with Ministry of Health at the national
level as part of the efforts to scale up CLTS and to
institutionalize CLTS and sanitation marketing.
• The community resource persons have been involved
in all project activities especially monitoring and
sensitization
