The paper discusses the mode of implementation of this
strategy in some communities, its reception by the workerbeneficiaries,
the impact on their livelihood generally and
on their roles and activities as voluntary workers. The
paper also discusses how the following benefits can be
achieved using the strategy:
• Intensification of the fight against poverty in Nigeria
• Escalation of the construction of latrines in the rural
areas
• Increase in the level of Hygiene and Sanitation promotion
activities at the community level
• Attraction and or increase in the level of sustainable
participation of communities in WES activities
• Utilization as a mode of entry into communities and
LGAs.
The paper concludes with the finding that strongly supports
the adoption of this strategy as a mode of strengthening the
community level volunteers in their activities as well as
promoting the affordability, and availability of essential
sanitation items in the beneficiary communities.
