Description of the Training

This topic provides 15 images of recommended good sanitation concerning Zero Open Defecation (ZOD). The cards are used to help prompt participants to discuss some of the ways that people can block bad sanitation practices, with the objective of having zero open defecation around their homes.

How to use Card set  14.a. ‘Sanitation: ZOD’ 

1. Facilitator gives out the set of pictures to the participants. 

2. Those with pictures come to the front and each one describes what is in the picture. 

3. Each time a participant explains their picture they must say whether there is open defecation (faeces exposed to the air) 

4. Make two groups: those with open defecation pictures and those with no open Defecation 

5. Ask the groups if these practices are common in the area. Remove those that are not common. 

6. Now ask the participants in the ‘Open Defecation Group’ to find a partner whose picture shows a way to make faeces safe. 

7. Each pair must then present their pictures together explaining how one picture provides the solution to open defecation.
