At the event, ChildFund Chief Representative in Vietnam Deborah Leaver said that the Community-Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) is an innovative way of mobilising communities to completely eliminate open defecation. It focuses on the behavioural change needed to ensure real and sustainable improvements.
According to Nguyen Huy Nga, head of the Environmental Management Department under the Ministry of Health, the pilot implementation of the model shows that it is a good approach and may be applied widely in the communities, especially those in remote areas.
The CLTS programme has been piloted in Dien Bien, Lao Cai, Lai Chau, Kon Tum, Ninh Thuan, An Giang and Dong Thap provinces.-VNA
