Maps Include OD areas, latrines (functional/non-functional) + helicopter type!, water kiosks (legal and illegal connections, garbage collection points, open and/or clogged drainage systems, schools, health facilities, etc
Achievements
• Support by key stakeholders (tenants, landlords, leadership, CCN, MOPHS, private sector;
• Sanitation as an operational targets+ Scale-up of UCLTS demand;
Local administration in a stakeholders’ forum on sanitation in Mathare Slums
Challenges• Participation during triggering-low turnout as
people are busy during the day• Low sense of community –cohesion • Limited or no space for mapping on the ground-
busy and dirty• Land tenure –insecurity for investment in
private sanitation facilities• Weak or lack of good political will• Weak coordination, regulation and
enforcement of city by-laws
Opportunities• New Constitution 2010 –Sanitation as a right;• Sanitation in the political agenda -2012 elections;• Media campaign to profile urban sanitation challenges• City Council of Nairobi Rapid Results Initiative –
sanitation targets and performance contracts;• ICT & Social Media: GIS mapping & blogging; • Demand for UCLTS in all Nairobi informal settlements;• Urbanization trends- We can’t ignore slums
So does CLTS Work in Urban Environments
• CLTS in Urban Environments is Possible • It is more complex and called for multiplicity
of skills and partnerships
