A history of inadequate intervention in sanitation and hygiene and the resultant low coverage level has left Nepal with much to do to reach the national target of 100 per cent latrine coverage by 2017. The recognition that children can act as change agents, in alliance with the success of School Sanitation and Hygiene Education (SSHE) programme, led UNICEF Nepal, DWSS and other stakeholders to develop School Led Total Sanitation (SLTS), where open defecation free areas are achieved by involving child clubs and sanitation committees in leading roles. Total sanitation has turned out to be an effective mechanism to promote latrine use, hygiene education and behavioural change among poor, disadvantaged and landless people.
