Difference in CLTS

• Focus on stopping open defecation (rather than
  building toilets)
• Need for collective action (to stop open
  defecation within community)
• No toilet subsidy (households must finance their
  own toilets) and
• Promotion of low-cost homemade toilets
  constructed using local materials (rather than
  standard toilet designs imposed by outsiders)

Total Sanitation

• Total use of hygienic toilets, i.e., no open
  defecation oropen/hanging toilets in use
• Hygienic toilets well maintained
• Good personal hygienic practices
• Using sandals when defecating
• Effective hand washing after defecation and
  before takingor handling food
• Water points well managed

• Food and water covered
• Garbage disposal in a fixed place and cow dung
  disposedoff in a hygienic way
