| 9. What were the main obstacles encountered and how were they overcome?
|
|
The main obstacles can be categorized as follows:
First, To change the people’s behaviour and to change thier mind-set from BABS to BAB in latrine main constraint is hard is revamp society behaviour, revamp mind set society to revamp their wont from open defecation goes to CHAPTER to go to toilet. If the will to change is not strong the the people do not want to perform “Simple Toilet Community Social Gathering”. The effort made was by utilizing triggering elements, such as health, religion and privacy.
Second, People’s behaviour towards by subsidy and hiding behind poverty. Eventually, income of Bangka District’s people is slightly higher than other surrounding regions. In the year 2011 the people’s income from mining sector (inconventional mining) is quite high. Each Head of Family can earn US$ 3.72 up to US$ 18.63 per day, So, if people pretending that they do not have money to participate in the simple closet lottery program, this is the only way not to say that they have not change their mind yet. Effort that has been made by showing them the succsess of CLTS program in states like India and Bangladesh and by compare other regions daily income with theirs.
THIRD, Part of the society has the intention to make latrine but wants to firstly gather necessary fund, because they want to have lavish latrine that cost > US$ 223.6 It gives impression that they want delay to make toilet and persist to open defecation. Efforts have been made by providing them with optional toilet and its cost so that they can build a toilet.
