Animal-inclusive Community-led Total Sanitation (A-CLTS)

IMA World Health and its partners conducted an Animal- inclusive Community-led Total Sanitation (A-CLTS) project in Segou, Mali. The project piloted an innovative WASH model that integrated animal waste management into CLTS based on extensive formative research to tailor interventions to the realities of rural Malian households. By forming a research team that included public health, WASH, and veterinary experts, we were able to document a wide range of risk factors for zoonotic disease transmission that could be addressed through an inclusive WASH program. This research team included partners from USCET, the One Health Center at the International Livestock Research Institute (ILRI), and leading academic research partners. The project also conducted a series of workshops with community members and other key stakeholders to identify A-CLTS behavior change strategies that community members felt they could adopt.
