Facilitating 'Hands On Training' Workshops for Community-Led Total Sanitation: A Trainers' Training Guide

This guide, produced by Water Supply & Sanitation Collaborative Council (WSSCC) and the Community-Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) Foundation, was written to fulfil the need for a resource that will support the creation of a strong cadre of trainers for frontline CLTS work. It was written from the author's experiences of facilitating over 100 national, regional, and international ‘hands-on’ training workshops designed specifically for the trainers and users of CLTS in more than 25 countries.
