© Plan 8 High Lights-Innovations that we are proud of: 1.Triggering a kebele(the smallest Administrative Unit) in one day ie many villages by clustering them into groups of villages. 2.Involving schools fo triggering and monitoring. 3.Organizing Natural Leaders to establish a sanitation centre in SNN PU. 4.Using a local game to involve children to promote H&S activities in their villages.

© Plan 9 Low Lights 1.Budget shortage due to high Inflation in the country. As a result we were not able to procure a vehicle approved in the project proposal. 2. Lack of continuous follow up by government staff after triggering. 3.Abscense of water supply in schools to promote effective sanitation and hygiene activities.

© Plan 10 Actions taken to Address challenges 1.The budget shortage discussed with the donor and there was a field visit to the project site by the donor. Additional budget requested. 2.Continuous contact with government staff and organization of review meetings and preparation of joint action plans. 3.Integrating WASH activities.

© Plan 11 Lessons Learned 1.CLTS needs continuous close follow up and monitoring after triggering. 2.Needs budget and logistical support for the follow up and conducting review meetings etc. 3.Needs permanent staff assigned to CLTS implementation. 4.Government has to accept the CLTS apprach so that it gives support in implementation.
