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.
'Total Sanitation' refers to 100% sanitation coverage in a target area, usually through a combination of awareness raising and affordable sanitation options.
===Advantages===
There are two important realizations which are at the center of the Community-Led Total Sanitation approach. The first is that merely providing toilets does not guarantee their use, and does not automatically result in improved sanitation behaviour. Projects that started with prescribed high sanitation standards and subsidies have often led do uneven adoption, problems with sustainability, and partial use. Using subsidies as an incentive also can lead to a culture of dependence on subsidies.
Community-Led Total Sanitation, if successful, triggers the community's desire to change and stimulates them to act. This leads to better ownership of the solutions, and greater sustainablity.
===Description of the Approach===
A movie of the process by WaterAid describes the process in the following steps<ref>
http://www.wateraid.org/uk/about_us/newsroom/6613.asp#watch Ten steps to total sanitation, animation produced by WaterAid.
* Step 10: The community is awarded defecation free status and a sign is erected at the beginning of the village.
===Potential===
Community-Led Total Sanitation can be very effective in achieving better sanitation and hygiene behaviour. However, the uptake of the approach can be difficult, for example because the shift away from subsidies sometimes requires a different mindset. Good management and support are needed for organizations that support the communities. The approach has both been used by small NGO programmes and by large scale governmental programmes. In some cases, problems with monitoring, mediation and the supply chain exist, and it is unclear which mix of approaches is most effective.
Community-Led Total Sanitation can be a very good starting point for other community action activities, as it mobilizes the community towards common action. As sanitation interventions have immediate health benefits, this demonstrates the power of collective action, which builds confidence in the community to undertake other developmental projects as well.
===Field experiences===
Community-Led Total Sanitation was first pioneered in Bangladesh in 1999 by Kamal Kar (see external links for a list of his articles on the subject), and since then has been widely adopted in that country in in others, particularly in South and Southeast Asia. The approach is also being used in Africa, notably in Uganda and Zambia.<ref>

The Tamale rural has attracted 8.13% for a population of 61,175. Although Tamale is a metropolitan area but it has almost the same features as many districts in the region. Many districts in the region by coverage have attracted up to between 37% -94% water sanitation and hygiene facilities. Therefore we need to plan with the Tamale metropolitan Assembly to serve the deprived communities. |}
