CLTS field guideline – From French Red Cross experience in Cambodia

This guideline has been written in order to provide some help with the implementation of the CLTS approach. It contains most of the experience feedback from our partners, Red Cross colleagues and our own project.
It should be considered as an improvable tool, and not as a constraint to follow at all costs.

Some key findings have to be kept in mind to understand the CLTS method:
– As a participatory approach, CLTS should be a lively project where communication and human relations matters more than high tech solutions.
– The aim of CLTS is to eradicate open defecation in the target area. More than counting the number of latrines build, we have to look which percentage of the population use latrines instead of defecating in open field.
