Abstract: In the context of monitoring progress towards SDG target 6.2, a household is counted to have access to sanitation if it uses at least basic sanitation services. Several approaches have been employed to help rural communities to climb up the sanitation ladder such as Community-led Total Sanitation (CLTS), whose primary target is to end open defecation through behavior change.

“…A prominent approach within this strategy was the Ethiopian adaptation of Community-Led Total Sanitation and Hygiene, building upon the Community-Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) approach ( Crocker et al ., 2017 ; Novotný et al, 2018a ). However, the increased latrine coverage often compromised quality, using low-cost, locally available materials, resulting in sustainability issues, collapses, and a resurgence of open defecation ( Abebe and Tucho, 2020 ; UNICEF, 2020 ; Novotný and Mamo, 2022 ; Kouassi et al ., 2023 ). Research indicates that relying solely on the CLTS approach may not be sufficient for achieving hygienic sanitation ( Cavill et al , 2015 ; Crocker et al ., 2017 ; Novotný et al, 2018b ; Ficek and Novotný, 2019 ).…”
