Ethiopian communities take the lead in ending open defecation

Children shout out "No to open defecation!" during CLTS training

3 September 2007: A community-led approach to ending open defecation in Shebedino Wereda, Ethiopia, has seen sanitation figures soar.

Open defecation is a major contributory factor to the high incidence of diarrhoea in the country, which causes 46% of childhood deaths.

Plan has been helping by organising training for villages on Community-Led Total Sanitation (CLTS).

CLTS mobilises communities to identify their problems and work out their own solutions to improving sanitation and hygiene behaviour.

Since CLTS was introduced in February 2007, it has been rolled out to 57 villages and seen more than 1,400 households construct pit latrines on their own initiative.
