Sanitation for All: New Marketing and Community Approaches Julia Rosenbaum and Orlando Hernández USAID Hygiene Improvement Project Global Health Council May 2008

Outline Two complementary approaches - Negotiation - Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) Integrated HIP model for sanitation coverage HIP field applications

Individual household level List of small doable actions individuals may adopt to address a health issue List may be generated by households or by program One size does not fit all Incremental steps to move in the right direction Potential reliance on private sector to deliver one preferred option Negotiation

What is Acceptable? Not Acceptable Open Defecation Fixed Place Defecation Improved pit Simple pit WC KVIP Pour flush Ecosan

Achieves 100% sanitation coverage in one community Uses increased community action and collective decision for improved sanitation behavior Draws on Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) methodologies Instills a sense of disgust and shame at collective level Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS)

CLTS: Settle Only for 100% Defecation Free Communities Getting a few individuals to have latrines is not enough

Traditional and Total Sanitation Approach: A Comparison ElementsPrevious ApproachNew Approach: CLTS Starting Point LatrinesUsers MessageLatrine construction by householdsCollective behavior change by entire community TechnologyFixed model & few optionsMenu of options MotivationIndividual subsidyThreat, fear and self respect Time frameUnknown6-9 months Monitoring# of latrines constructed# of ODF communities

Lessons and Challenges from CLTS in Asia and Africa Increased cleanliness, safety, perception of dignity Effective for increasing sanitation coverage where only approach used Villages not interested when they are close to other villages where subsidies were available Difficulty reaching the very poor, some households not ‘complying’ What actions are needed to make initiatives sustainable? How much does it cost? Too slow to implement consecutively in many villages? Only rural based? Nigerian evaluation showed effectiveness in town with < 3000 residents

CLTS Triggers Disgust Shame Threat (sanctions, disease) Community incentives after the fact

BCC Effectiveness Negative appeals + response and self efficacy

Levels of Negative Appeal Low Disgust/Shame /Threat High Disgust/Shame/ Threat Levels of Efficacy (Response + self) Low Efficacy No responseControl of negative emotions -> maladaptive behavioral outcome High Efficacy No responseThreat control -> adaptive behavioral outcome

HIP Sanitation Marketing Opportunities in Uganda BCC helps to increase demand Must ensure sustainable supply options Have to ensure that the marketplace will respond: –Masons have to be able to build what consumers want –Cement must be available to build wanted slabs

Balanced Approach Demand Supply Sanitation Marketing CLTS Negotiation
