Affordability of water and sanitation services 2015, para. 44
Paragraph
Paragraph text
On the other hand, significant inroads have been made through Community-Led Total Sanitation in expanding access to sanitation. Recognizing that improving sanitation relies to a large extent on practicing safe and hygienic sanitation, the approach focuses on mobilizing communities to analyse and improve the situation with regard to open defecation. Community-Led Total Sanitation is in principle opposed to the provision of subsidies based on the premise that subsidized sanitation often does not align with people's preferences and that such solutions have often been unsustainable by creating a culture of dependency.
