those from the organisations following up should be present and make commitments at the feedback
meeting on the final day see below
. inform the formal leaders of the communities that
outsiders will be visiting to learn about the sanitation situation in their villages. arrange and agree the time
and venue in the village. Stress that everyone in the community should be informed and invited. avoid
market days, holidays and festivals, and, if known, marriage celebrations.
The organisers involved in pre-triggering arrangements should inform and invite selected
community leaders in advance to the workshop venue at the end of day one to meet and discuss
with the groups of participants about planning a visit to their respective villages in the following days.
Please
see ‘informal meeting with the community leaders’ in section 8.2

4.6 Selection of and arrangements with video cameraperson
The video camera-person has several key roles: 1 recording participants on video to play back to them
and show their behaviour and attitudes, 2 recording on video what is done by the community in immediate
follow up after triggering to play back to them and the whole group on the last day and 3 recording
community members on video when they present on the last day and declare target dates for becoming
oDF, and the reactions and responses of senior policy makers and others.
Ensure that she has enough batteries and editing equipment, especially the connecting cord from the
video camera to the multi-media or TV. Brief the person thoroughly in advance and give guidance
during the process.
4.7 Logistics Venue
To reduce travel time, the venue should be fairly close to the communities being triggered. The
training venue should have a large hall that can be darkened for slide shows and videos. Chairs should
be light, easy to move, tough and stackable. They should preferably be set out in a circle or U shape,
with a big open space in the centre, and no tables in front of participants. in a large hall, a few tables
should be at the walls for group meetings and discussions.
Try to ensure:
n enough wall space for putting up all the charts and
posters emerging from the workshop; n
enough space in the hall for at least an extra 30- 40 people to sit or stand around. This is for the
last day when the community members come in to make their presentations;
n that the training hall is not too hot or too cold. in
hot conditions, air conditioning improves efficiency For example, a venue had to be shifted from a
renovated poultry shed near islamabad to a hotel in rawalpindi due to unbearable heat and humidity.
Participants were freezing cold in the training hall in kangra, Himachal Pradesh, but when
10 charcoal stoves were brought in nothing could be seen due to smoke.
Right: Lack of space between presenter groups and scorching sun adversely affect the quality of the presentation.
Left: Members of the community in a village in White Nile State in Sudan taking positions on a big map to indicate their
houses and places for open defecation.
Transport
adequate transport arrangements will be needed for all the subgroups to travel to different villages
independently. ideally, transport will be provided to bring village leaders to the venue to meet the teams
on the afternoon of the first day, and to return them again to their respective villages.
Accommodation and food
arrangements need to be made for accommodation and food for all participants.
Community members from the selected villages will be invited to the main training centre for the last
day of the training workshop. Hence the number of people to be catered for on the last day or couple of
days increases.
