Achieving sustainability: linking CLTS with other approaches — an example of a thorough WASH intervention in South Eastern Chad

摘要

Building resilience in a context regularly affected by crises requires innovative approaches both in termsof activities and programme management. In Sila region in Chad, a full WASH intervention has beenimplemented based on an iterative process of analysing the successes and failures of the programmewhile activities are still on-going. Barrier analysis has proven to be a strong complement to CLTS andPHAST interventions. Mixing the three approaches has resulted in significant gains in sanitationcoverage and has prompted a mid-project adjustment of activities in order to target specific areas ofcontinuing concern: access to safe water at the point of use and hand washing with soap. By performingregular analyses, the team was able to achieve better results in terms of identifying what is working welland adapting what is not, which has led to communities adopting new hygiene practices and increasingthe use of WASH facilities.
