Intervention and Approach Map
A tool to map and evaluate the current interventions and approaches in behavioral change and promotion of sanitation
The sanitation actors in Tanzania use various behavioral change approaches (namely CLTS, PHAST, TSSM, Mtumba, etc.) in order to create demand for sanitation and hygiene in the communities. Transparent platform for exchange of information on the intervention locations along with the behavioral change approach used would facilitate better communication between the sanitation stakeholders.
Creating a user-friendly platform would inform sanitation actors of the location of areas already triggered. Joined with a monitoring tool it could also allow for impact assessment of the used approaches in order to inform the National Sanitation Campaign Committee.
Each sanitation stakeholder (MOHSW, WSP, WaterAid, UNICEF, TawasaNet etc.) could report on a web-based map platform on the approach (CLTS, PHAST, etc.) they are currently using/they used in the past/or they are planning to use in sub-villages/villages.
Requirements:
– The platform should allow the government of Tanzania and development partners to easily feed and update the data on the interventions per location
– It should indicate the time, the period of the intervention as well as the type and size of the community targeted (children/women/men, Maasai, etc.)
– The platform should have a simple yet safe registration process
– The outcome – a map – could be later on juxtaposed with the outcome of ‘Electronic Sanitation Performance Monitoring ’ exercise.
Data sources:
– More information about the hygiene and sanitation approaches used is available at: http://www.wsscc.org/sites/default/files/publications/wsscc_hygiene_and_sanitation_software_2010.pdf
The user of this tool would be the government of Tanzania, specifically the Ministry of Health and Social Welfare (MOHSW) and the Prime Minister’s Office for Local Government (PMO RALG) for use within the National Sanitation Campaign and beyond. There is also strong backing for this tool from development partners such as the World Bank, WSP, DfiD, the African Development Bank, UNICEF, and WaterAid.
In addition to possible Hackathon prizes, there could be further incubation, testing and rollout support for high-potential solutions.

Could we make this type of map crowd-sourced?
I think this idea is really a great one! I agree that there is a huge need to know what type of methods are being used where (on a village by village basis). Specifically it would be great if we were mapping where and when community-led total sanitation (CLTS) triggering has occurred and where and when subsidies are handed out. It would also be great if after triggering those villages that become open defecation free (ODF) could be easily mapped! Right now governments or coordination bodies collect the data but it never really seems to get back to the original community members. It would be great if community members could even sometimes have a map printed for them and know “Our village is on the internet!” As more and more people get access to internet, it would be great if the information coudl be crowd-sources so individuals could actually comment and correct data.
If a really easy to use system, that didn’t use much internet band-width, and jsut used pictures so that anyone (regardless of language) could enter the data it would be GREAT!

Great post! Thanks for
Great post! Thanks for sharing very informative. Keep on posting.- perruques cosplay
This could be a brilliant
This could be a brilliant idea or it could be just fumes. I mean it is a gigantic task. Creating a monitoring tool for a large area based on information of assumptions as well as theories. I do not know how much this is going to successful! I really want to help you people. But, I can’t, I am far away from where you are!!!
