The MURD should make arrangements working with Unicef and Ministry of Health to ensure a Post Construction trigger of all villages where Latrines have already been provided under subsidy so that communities are triggered to use these facilities and can be certified later as ODF. The 50,000 Harambee Prosperity Plan Latrines Should be provided as a reward to ODF Villages such as Ondingwanyama as a Sanitation Ladder and ODF Sustainability Support. Ensure that Harambee Prosperity Plan Latrines are constructed by communities themselves using trained youths as masons who will conduct mass community trainings ( MCTs) for Latrine Construction after CLTS triggers. As provided in the HPP this will ensure job creation for the unemployed local youths at least 60 per constituency (Total: 7,260 jobs created) and this will multiply the 50,000 to 250,000 Latrines from N$35,000 to N$7000 or Less per Latrine. 250,000 Latrines is what is needed to cover 1.2 million people in Namibia practicing OD. TRAINING NEEDS RECOMMENDATIONS. One Day orientation Meeting for WATSAN Forum on Sanitation Approaches – 4th Week of February 2017. Seven Days Community Champions Training in CLTS & Baseline Survey – 1st Week of March 2017. Master Trainers Training in Communication & Facilitation Skills for Three Days – 2nd Week of March 2017. Latrine Builders/Masons Training for Eight Days – 3rd to 4th Week of March 2017. CLTS CHAMPIONS & NATURAL LEADERS RECOMMENDATIONS. The following people were recognized as Champions with special and unique interest in CLTS and deserve further Coaching and exposure: Headman Ondingwanyama and his wife. Ephraim Tutaleni ( Ondingwanyama SAG Chairperson) Maria Mwakeme ( NRCS). Justine Kulla Petrus ( ag. Chief Env. Practitioner MoHSS, Ohangwena ).
