• Now : In 2009, in partnership with Water and Sanitation Program (WSP) on CLTS

mode Government of Meghalaya shifted to community led and demand driven decentralized approach targeting collective behavior change at community level vis-à-vis earlier individual household level . The approach shifted to strengthening institutional set-up , capacity building of the district teams and inducing behavior change by incentivizing the outcomes reinforced with community monitoring.

• Results: As a result of ceaseless efforts from the state and the district

administration the toilet coverage ( safe toilets) in rural Meghalaya increased to 70 % as on end of December 2013 from near nil figures of 2004-06.
