Community-led total sanitation (CLTS) is a grassroots approach to sanitation developed in Bangladesh. It follows the philosophy of participatory rural appraisal,[1] or PRA.
CLTS was developed by Kamal Kar, an advocate of community participation in development, in Bangladesh.
He has criticised the lack of success of NGO's in Bangladesh, saying "It is difficult to find even 100 villages among nearly 85,000 that are 100 per cent sanitised and free from open defecation." [2]
He has also been involved in low cost sanitation programs. [3]
Background
Kamal Kar is a development consultant based in Kolkata, India, who has worked with many national and international agencies on innovative methodologies for development in Asia and Africa.
Kamal Kar introduced PRA (participatory rural appraisal) in 1993 (to Tanzania? Johansson, 2000). CLTS, (Community-led total sanitation) was developed in 2000 by Kar with his colleagues, Water Aid and Village Education Resources Centre (VERC) (a Bangladesh NGO).[4] (PLA Notes 49: Decentralisation and Community-based Planning, p31)
Introduction
