Dear Safar, The strategy being adapted for Sanitation in Nigeria is the Community-Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) Approach where disgust is the main tool for attitudinal change. Community Members are made to realize the many unhealthy habits they have been living with during the course of time and they themselves chose to change and develop an action plan in that respect that guides the change process. This method is basically used to end the open defecation practice in communities and is considered to be the second step on the sanitation ladder, the first being the cat method. Usually, when you are communicating with the rural or community people, you let them take the driver's position while you seat in the back seat. You only come during the introduction of a concept and when you notice that they are digressing. I am posting some literature on CLTS for your perusal. Check the documents.
