Institutional Triggering is a proven methodology for convincing senior- level decision-makers and WASH sector leaders about the strength and efficacy of the Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) approach. It also helps in breaking the traditional perspectives and myths regarding unwillingness, inability or lack of initiative of the poor to improve their own sanitation situation and liberate themselves from the drudgery and pangs of life through self-mobilization. If applied systematically, successful institutional triggering facilitates the process of enhancing the much-needed sanitation policy change at the national level which fast-tracks the spread and scaling-up of CLTS towards attaining the status of a respectable nation. There are many examples of systematic efforts to trigger high-level decision-makers that resulted in faster sanitation coverage through the scaling-up of CLTS.

Dr Kamal Kar’s new book entitled Institutional Triggering: A Guide to Take CLTS to Scale has just been published. The book explains the need for Institutional Triggering as an important tool to complement the CLTS methodology and influence large institutions and powerful actors in WASH within the government ministry and outside to scale up the home-grown success of CLTS across their respective nations. It describes how facilitators can engage and interact with high officials and senior leaders and convince them to be proactive and act in spreading the success of CLTS to regions with poor sanitation.
