Summary

Cambodia’s child mortality rate is 83/1,000 live births, and 20% of under-fives suffer from diarrhoea. The Coalition’s national vision is: “Every person in rural communities has sustained access to safe water supply and sanitation services and lives in a hygienic environment by 2025.” The campaign for A Toilet in Every Home was launched to raise rural sanitation coverage from 16% in 2008 to 20% in 2010, 30% in 2015 and 100% by 2025. Its “sanitation ladder” envisages progress from basic pit latrines successively to concrete slabs, lined pits, offset pour flushes and finally brick superstructures.

About the author

Initiated in 2008, the Cambodia WASH Coalition targets schools and communities with messages about positive behaviour change – water conservation, washing hands with soap, and using low-cost latrines (e.g. CLTS programmes). With broad support from the government, international organizations, and others, the coalition’s school-community project has expanded across six provinces. This project provides schools and government departments with training sessions and materials about positive WASH behaviours, and has established self-monitoring systems on sanitation for communities and schools.
