Qualitative Comparative Analyses of Community-Led Approaches in Cambodia and Ghana Jessica Tribbe 1,* , Valentina Zuin 2, Caroline Delaire 1, Ranjiv Khush 1 and Rachel Peletz 1 1 The Aquaya Institute, San Anselmo, CA 94960, USA; [email protected] (C.D.); [email protected] (R.K.); [email protected] (R.P.) 2 Division of Social Science, Yale-NUS College, Singapore 138527, Singapore; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +1-(513)314-9254 Abstract: Community-led Total Sanitation (CLTS) is a popular intervention for eliminating open defecation in rural communities. Previous research has explored the contextual and programmatic factors that influence CLTS performance. Less is known about the community-level conditions that sustain latrine coverage and use. We hypothesized three categories of community conditions underlying CLTS sustainability: (i) engagement of community leaders, (ii) follow-up intensity, and (iii) support to poor households. We evaluated these among communities in Cambodia and Ghana, and applied fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis (fsQCA) to identify combinations of conditions that influenced current latrine coverage and consistent latrine use. In Cambodia, latrine coverage was highest in communities with active commune-level leaders rather than traditional Citation: Tribbe, J.; Zuin, V.; Delaire, leaders, and with leaders who used casual approaches for promoting latrine construction. Latrine C.; Khush, R.; Peletz, R. How Do use in Cambodia was less consistent among communities with intense commune engagement, higher Rural Communities Sustain pressure from traditional leaders, high follow-up and high financial support. In Ghana, by contrast, Sanitation Gains?

Purpose of Trip: To examine the distribution of rice viral diseases in provinces located east of Phnom Penh to Cambodia - Vietnam border, and To assess the facilities for identification of rice virus diseases in CARDI and other institutes in Cambodia. Sites Visited: GJ and PK visited four provinces, Takeo, Kampong Cham, Prey Veng, and Svay Rieng (Fig. 1), and collected rice leaves suspected to be infected with viruses. Rice leaves were collected from a total of 14 sites in the four provinces (Fig.1). Two districts in an opposite direction (southern and northern part) per province were selected so that the sampling sites represent the entire province. Fig 1. Location of four provinces surveyed for rice viral diseases. 1 Methods: Leaf samples were collected in one to two sites per district (Table 1). At a site, leaf samples were collected from 20 plants that were suspected to be infected with viruses. All collected leaves were brought to IRRI, Philippines and tested for the presence of Rice tungro bacilliform virus (RTBV), Rice tungro spherical virus (RTSV), Rice grassy stunt virus (RGSV), Rice ragged stunt virus (RRSV) by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) using antibodies specific to the respective viruses. Examination of leaves for the infection with rice orange leaf phytoplasma (ROLP) was done by a polymerase chain reaction (PCR) using DNA oligonucleotides specific to the ROLP genome. -
