the crude approach.

For anyone working in sanitation, have you used the Community Led Total Sanitation approach? You can learn more about it here, including steps for implementation. The basic idea is to “shame” a community into changing their sanitation and hygiene habits. For example, you walk community members around their properties and have them point out all the “shitting” areas. Mix this with a bit of weird sarcasm, “who gets the prize for the most shit!”-type, and apparently people get their act together. The Costal Rural Support Programme, Kenya under the Aga Khan Foundation is finding it quite useful: a cheap way to motivate people to change their situation using basic human nature as a catalyst.
