IDS held a conference on CLTS from the 16th- to 18th December 2008. This event formed part of the DFID-funded project Going to Scale: The Potential of Community-led Total Sanitation in which IDS has been engaged in over the last few years.

The conference marked the end of the Year of Sanitation 2008 and presented some of the research findings, as well as being an opportunity to share and learn from experiences of CLTS / sanitation with a wide audience from around the world and to tease out implications for wider development agendas.
