Umoja is a Swahili word that means unity. In the context of sanitation promotion it is applied with a twofold meaning. It means unification of sanitation approaches – i.e. CLTS, PHAST, and use of the cluster system, while building on the strengths of each approach to accelerate community action. It also means joint action or cooperation within a community to improve their sanitation and hygiene situation. ’Umoja’ is therefore an abridged sanitation promotion approach that uses the strengths and benefits of CLTS, PHAST and clustering to harness the commitment needed to make communities responsible for improving sanitation and hygiene practices and behaviour among households in a specific village.
