APPENDIX E: Sample checklist of follow-up activities (immediately after

triggering CLTS)

First:

•

Formation of follow-up team

•

3-4 people

•

at least one women in the team

•

include some powerful natural leaders or someone from best triggered/post-triggering best performing village in the team

Second:

•

visit all the villages

•

initiate the children’s procession

•

carry the chart of their commitment of date to declare ODF and get it signed

•

have a meeting with the natural leaders of that village

•

help the village put up the paper map in a central

place with a marker so they can start ticking off those houses that started construction or have already constructed

•

visit all the construction sites with the community – construction site transect walk. Daily monitoring by the community

•

encourage those who have started and ask if they need any technical guidance – particularly loose or sandy soil – but mainly work their own ideas and use examples from other villages

•

agree on date for next visit and tell them that in the next visit there will be many people from the other villages that have made solid progress, and inform them of the good progress made by those villages

•

take pictures of new constructions

•

for slow progress villages conduct a meeting with chief and community members to help them develop their own progress monitoring plan for at least two weeks

•

In the worse case, be prepared for visitors who want to see that there are people who want to eat each other’s shit (trying to help them live up to own commitments that they said during large group meetings of other village presentations/workshops) Share all the local or indigenous technologies from communities triggered by CLTS – with reference and name of the villages.

floor of a two or three storied building. They are connected to a tubular or square pipe running vertically along the building. Excreta fall in the bottom and accumulate in a quarter which is covered with ash every time one used the toilet. These dry pit latrines largely replaced water seal latrines in the cities and small towns. People in the villages also decides to make dry pit latrines of low cost.

Where women are socially confined

and use buckets in the dwelling or

plastic bags when traveling

In Yemen and parts of Pakistan, women defecate in buckets kept inside the house, and are only able to empty them outside after dark. In Yemen, women reported that they used the night shelter/pen for the cattle and other livestock at the ground floor of the building. The conditions of these animal pens are terrible where human shit and animal droppings get trampled and mixed up making a horrible stink in the room generally without any window or ventilation. Girls and women have no other choice but to use these places for defecation.

People’s solutions are to build latrines and toilets.

APPENDIX D: Sample questions for

raising disgust

Questions those could be asked to community

during a defecation area transect walk

•

Who all come to shit here?

•

Where do the women go?

•

Which are the places used by the children? (However, a children group is facilitated separately and they take their facilitators and others to places which they use for open defecation)

•

Who’s shit is this?

•

Indicating two or three different heaps of shit, ask if they see any difference in shapes, color, form-viscosity, etc. What do they think the reasons could be for such differences (e.g. diarrhoea, dysentery, cholera, indigestion etc)?

•

Pointing to a fresh shit, ask if they could see any living things on it (e.g. flies, maggots, insects, mosquitoes, dung beetle, etc)?

•

If you find some covering their noses or spitting in disgust, ask why they were doing that? Do they do the same whenever they visit the sites everyday?

•

Ask how far the flies can go, and if they visit their

homes carrying shit?

•

Tease them by suggesting they should probably not worry much because the flies they see on shit are different from those that sit on their food (might not agree with your suggestion and they will say that those are the same flies that carry shit to home)

•

Ask if more flies sit on liquid shit or solid shit, dry

or wet shit?

•

Ask which shit dries up earlier, normal faeces or faeces from diarrhoea person? Which are more watery?

•

Ask which ones attract more flies (dry or watery/semisolid shit)?

•

Ask if the contamination from a liquid diarrhoea shit spreads faster or normal semi-solid shit spreads faster?

•

Finally ask if they enjoy living in such environment? Ask any other questions you think might raise disgust amongst them. Innovate locally.
