In 2008, the Sustainable Sanitation and Hygiene for All programme started supporting the government of Bhutan in developing a new approach to sanitation and hygiene. The programme focuses on fostering positive hygiene behaviour change, building demand for improved sanitation, encouraging private sector solutions, and developing effective WASH governance at all levels. It builds on what the community has already accomplished in other areas.
After seven years, there is wide spread recognition that the approach works really well and has been fully endorsed by the Ministry of Health in 2010. With the help of SNV, UNICEF and the Red Cross, the programme has now reached nine of the twenty districts, mobilising families and communities to invest in improved sanitation, without subsidies. To date, 24 sub-districts have reached 100% access to improved sanitation. The government of Bhutan has now made sanitation and hygiene a priority, committing to increasing rural access to improved sanitation and hygiene from 54% to more than 80% by 2018. While this is a big step in the right direction, there is not enough funding available to support this commitment.
Mr. Rinchen Wangdi, Chief of the Public Health Engineering Division said, "Achieving the goals Bhutan has set will require strong leadership and investment from the government (an investment of USD 2.7 per person leads to improved sanitation and hygiene practices district-wide). This means prioritising sanitation and hygiene in budgets, in plans, and in the minds of our local leaders." He added, "If we can do that, we can achieve universal access in Bhutan."

Comment fait-on quand on n'a pas de toilettes à la maison? Se soulager en plein air n'est pas aussi simple qu'on pourrait le penser, en particulier pour les femmes. Ceci est une histoire sur les défis auxquels les femmes font face quotidiennement quand elles n'ont pas d'autre choix que celui de se soulager en plein air.
Rencontre avec Asmao Diallo de la commune rurale de Gorgadji, dans la région du Sahel au Burkina Faso. Comme 94% de la population dans les zones rurales du Burkina Faso, sa famille n'avait pas de toilettes à domicile. Ce n'est que récemment qu'ils en ont enfin eu. Dans cette vidéo, Mme Diallo explique les défis et les risques auxquels elle faisait face chaque jour à la recherche d'un endroit pour se soulager. Elle nous fait part également du changement que la décision du père de famille de construire des latrines traditionnelles, a produit dans sa vie.
Cette vidéo est la première d'une série de trois qui visent à donner une voix aux femmes vivant dans les communautés rurales du Burkina Faso, où les femmes ont rarement l'occasion d'exprimer leurs préoccupations quant à la défécation en plein air, et encore moins dans la prise de décisions des ménages sur la construction des latrines.

What do you do when you don't have a toilet at home? Relieving oneself out in the open is not as simple as one might think, especially for women. This is a story on the challenges women face on a daily basis when they've got no choice but to relieve themselves out in the open.
Meet Asmao Diallo, from the rural community of Gorgadji, in the Sahel region of Burkina Faso. Like 94% of Burkina Faso's rural population, her family did not have a toilet at home- until recently. In this video, Ms Diallo explains the challenges and risks she faced every day in the search of a place to relieve herself, as well as how the père de famille's decision to build a traditional latrine changed her life.
This video is the first in a series of three that aim to give a voice to Burkina Faso's women living in rural communities, where women rarely have the opportunity to express their concerns about defecating in the open, and where women barely have a say in making household decisions on the construction of a latrine.

Au Burkina Faso, comme dans la plupart des pays du continent africain, l’implication des autorités locales s’est grandement accrue ces dernières années pour assurer la fourniture des services de base dont l’eau potable et l’assainissement. La commune a désormais en charge la planification, l’organisation, la gestion, la régulation et le suivi-évaluation des services. Concernant le suivi-évaluation, force est de constater que le vaste chantier est encore en friche. En quoi consiste justement ce suivi-évaluation ? Quel intérêt présente-t-il dans la gouvernance des services ? Qui se charge de ce suivi-évaluation dans les communes ? De quels appuis bénéficient les communes pour développer ce suivi-évaluation ?
Le film tente de répondre à cette série de questions complexes en donnant la parole aux acteurs impliqués dans l’approvisionnement en services d’eau potable et d’assainissement en milieu rural : acteurs communaux, opérateurs privés, administration publique et ONG.
Le film, au-delà des témoignages, se veut un outil stimulant la réflexion sur les enjeux et les problématiques du suivi-évaluation communal qui seront examinés au cours des travaux du séminaire international sur le suivi-évaluation des services locaux d’eau potable et d’assainissement en Afrique de l’ouest, prévu à Ouagadougou, du 7 au 9 avril 2014.
