A successful condominial sewerage program successfully implemented by WSP in Bolivia is now being promoted in Dakar by the local WSP office there. Community-led Total Sanitation approach (CLTS), initiated and scaled up in Bangladesh, was shared with India and has now been adopted by the government in over 426 districts. This innovative approach is now being explored in other countries, including Indonesia, where field trials of two large-scale projects have been so successful in accelerating coverage to the poor and leveraging community investment that subsidy-free CLTS have been adopted as the main rural sanitation approach in all 54 project districts. This ability to "think globally, but act locally" lies at the heart of WSP's approach to sanitation and hygiene promotion.
