  1. A PRESENTATION FROM PRONET NORTH 2rd AFRAM SKUUL OF INNOVATION MARCH, 2011 UPPER WEST REGION WA

  2. The Viisse story CLTS

  3. Context • High level of illiteracy rate • High poverty levels of the people • Under developed • High level of environmental degradation • High level of OD an accepted practice over the years

  4. Learning objective To learn experiences of Community Led-Total Sanitation implementation in Upper West Region

  5. Where is Viisse • Located in Wa East District • About 30 to 45 minutes drive from Wa, the district capital • Approximately 96 km to district capital • Is a piloted CLTS community

  6. Characteristics • Population at time of implementation: 150 • 29 Households • Strong leadership • Common interest

  7. Triggering response • Outcome of triggering was ‘match box in a gas station’ • 3 natural leaders emerged • Members were triggered after a water demonstration

  8. Achievement • Attained 100% ODF in 2009 • Community provided a latrine for the school to ensure total sanitation • Currently experiencing a spill over: Natural leaders supporting nearby communities to address OD • Health status of communities has improved (according to the community, there has been no sickness over the past 1 year) • Currently putting up sanitation market with a credit fund

  9. Challenges during implementation • Initial demand for subsidy due to past experiences. • Communities initiative of latrine construction delayed due to the season(the peak of farming season) • Lack of follow up after attaining ODF due to one year project cycle • Loose soil led to a seasonal collapse of pits • High level of poverty accounting to community constructing and using only one type of latrine (unlined) • Standards and specifications from Local Government vrs ability of community members

  10. Significant changes • Emergence of natural leaders who have triggered nearby communities e.g. Nandomeyiri who have also taken collective action in constructing latrines to end OD. • Complete eradication of feaco-oral diseases (diarrhoea, typhoid, cholera) • Reduction of hospital attendance as the story of rushing sick patients to health centres is a thing of the past( 1 year)

  11. Significant changes continued • Not a single fowl of Viisse has died (coccidiocisis) for the past one year as it stand that feeding on an effected shit escalate the spread, in the event of an outbreak • The Community has constructed a traditional latrine for the school to forestall total sanitation
