Community-Led Total Sanitation is a way to mobilize a community, with the goal to completely eliminate open defecation in a community area. The community is facilitated to make their own analysis of open defecation and the faecal-oral contamination that it leads to. The aim is to generate a sense of 'shame' and 'disgust' among the members of the community, which mobilizes the community to take their own action to end open defecation, for example through the construction of latrines and changes of sanitation behaviour. Subsidies for hardware are not used.
