1 January - March 2010 COUNTRY OVERVIEW

The war in Sierra Leone officially came to an end in 2002. Over the past eight years, Sierra Leone has made significant progress in its transition from humanitarian emergency to recovery and development. An average economic growth rate of 6-7% per annum coupled with the peaceful and successful general elections of 2007 highlight the country’s progress and the people’s optimism for the future.

Despite these improvements, a decade of war has meant that the country still faces huge social and economic problems. Sierra Leone still remains at the bottom of the Human Development Index (180/182). With the highest

maternal and under-5 mortality rates in the world, the challenges facing the country’s women and children remain One of Sierra Leone’s major challenges severe. Malaria, respiratory and over the next six years will be to meet diarrhoeal diseases account for more the Millennium Development Goal than 75% of the country’s under-five Target of “66% coverage of Improved mortality.

Providing subsidies for latrines in particular has in the past proved ineffective and unsustainable. Instead, the promotion of community-based responsibility for the initiation of latrine construction, use and maintenance coupled with clean water supply and Woman collects water from a UNICEF good hand washing practices has supplied hand pump © UNICEF/2010 proved to most effective at reducing disease.

WHAT IS CLTS? Smokey Insect Killer being used in Moyamba © PLAN International/2010

CLTS is a method used by communities to achieve Open Defecation Free (ODF) status, through the introduction of latrines and other hygiene facilities. This approach is different in the fact it does not rely on subsidies. It relies solely on the community’s own analysis of the sanitation situation, following “triggering,” and their subsequent desire to change.

CLTS INNOVATIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS

PLAN International Communities in Bombali have been recycling old and unused slabs which In Makari Gbanti Chiefdom of Bombali were provided by Plan to communities District, communities have been using several years ago. The slabs remain in sticks from local trees (Plum tree, Black good condition and Tumbla tree, Gbende, Mahambu will be used to cover the communities’ Wuluna, Yeamani, Bamboo etc) and newly dug latrines. In such cases, a mud to cover latrines in the place of the simple cylindrical, small and deep round traditional concrete slabs. The sticks hole is dug, and covered with the slab used are highly durable and do not rot and mud. during the rains. The clay-based mud is likewise exceptionally strong and long- lasting. Several communities have also developed “Smokey Insect Killers.” These devices are made from tin cans and filled with Palm Nut shells (remnants from the palm oil trade) and hot coal. String or metal wire is then used to lower the can into the latrine hole and secured with a horizontal stick which prevents the tin falling into the hole.

INNOVATIVE NEW HANDWASHING TECHNOLOGIES IN KENEMA: MAJEHUN 2 COMMUNITY, KENEMA

Mohamed Mansaray, 30 lives with his wife, Nana, in Majehun 2, a community located in Sierra Leone’s deep south. With just four houses, Majehun 2 is one of the smallest CLTS villages in the country. During the community’s triggering by NGO MUWODA in October 2009, Mohamed stepped forward to volunteer to become a Natural Leader for his village. Water flows into the basin which is

made from a recycled dustbin lid and flows out through the drainage pipe.

Drainage pipe Mohamed is working with MUWODA to ensure that his innovations inspire Bamboo others to adopt CLTS in the surrounding stand area.

Inspired by what he saw during triggering, and the November 2009 Natural Leader training session he subsequently attended (see previous Bamboo “Tippy Taps” issue), Mohamed decided to design a new wash basin for his family.

Made solely from local and recycled materials, the washbasin is an excellent example of how simple it is to make good hand washing facilities, even with limited resources. Water is entered through the top of the “tippy-tap” and then flows through the bamboo pipe into the smaller tap (made from cane) .

Ensuring latrines have strong roofing which is impermeable to water is one of the best methods of ensuring latrines remain safe and durable. Below are some examples of the roofs currently being used across Sierra Leone.

THATCHED ROOF (PALM KERNAL) Pros: Impermeable to rain, cheap, long-lasting and readily available in most regions Cons: Not available in all areas

THATCHED ROOF (COCONUT PALM) Pros: Impermeable to rain, cheap, long-lasting and readily available in most areas

Cons: Not available everywhere.

CORREGATED IRON ROOF Pros: Completely impermeable to rain and long- lasting.

Cons: Expensive, not always locally available and usually only used by the relatively affluent (e.g. village chiefs)

CANE STICKS Pros: Cheap and locally available in many regions, a good alternative to corrugated iron Cons: If constructed poorly, water can pass through during heavy rains. Low durability.

STICK ROOF Pros: Cheap and readily available everywhere. Cons: Unless packed densely, sticks alone provide poor protection against wind and rain. Latrines unlikely to last through the rains and will need to be rebuilt regularly. UNICEF Sierra Leone Sierra UNICEF

TOP TIPS FOR THE SUCCESSFUL MOBILISATION OF RELIGIOUS LEADERS

Make an effort to actively involve religious leaders during pre-triggering, triggering, monitoring and ODF celebrations, encouraging them to use their influence where possible.

Mustapha Koroma, aged 27 has been a major source of inspiration for the people of Golawoma Village, Pujehun. Following triggering by NGO ACEPT in March 2010, Mustapha stepped forward, volunteering to help support CLTS efforts in the community. “I was so inspired by the triggering — I made sure that I was first to build a latrine. I led by example. Since the latrines have been built things have really changed. The village is so clean and there are no flies now. The chief has designated the last Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays of the month as Village Cleaning Days. I also helped get people together to help construct a latrine for our disabled neighbour.”
