 Background Information – Job-specificUNICEF is the agency of the United Nations mandated to advocate for the protection of children’s rights, to help meet their basic needs and to expand their opportunities to reach their full potential. In Kenya, UNICEF works with the government and other partners to address four key development priorities under the current 2018-2022 Country Programme: (a) reduced mortality and stunting; (b) improved early learning and education; (c) enhanced child and adolescent protection and HIV prevention; and (d) improved social protection, inclusion and resilience-building.

Within this framework and as set out in the 2018-2022 Country Programme Document, UNICEF Kenya country office is implementing the ‘Sanitation for Universal Health Coverage (UHC)’ project that aims at supporting Kenya to achieve UHC by accelerating the elimination of open defecation and facilitating access to basic sanitation in communities and schools. For the rural sanitation component, UNICEF will contribute to Improving health through acceleration of elimination of open defecation through community led total sanitation (CLTS) in 9 high-burden Counties. It is expected that target communities will be mobilized to construct toilets and adopt good hand washing behaviours through support from MoH at county and local level. As a result, 1,500,000 people will live in open defecation free villages in 9 Counties and 15 sub counties will become open defecation free.
Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) has been adopted as the core strategy for implementing the Open Defecation Free (ODF) Rural Kenya initiative aiming to achieve ODF Kenya by end of 2020. Since 2011, the GoK has put in place a comprehensive set of sanitation policies to guide progress towards the universal access target stated in Kenya’s VISION 2030. This Vision is in line with the Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) Target 6.2 which aims at achieving access to adequate and equitable sanitation and hygiene for all and end open defecation by 2030. The ODF Kenya initiative is supported by the National ODF Kenya 2020 Campaign Framework, Protocol for implementing CLTS in Kenya and National guidelines for Verification and Certification of ODF Communities in Kenya. 
Since 2013, UNICEF supported the scale up of Community Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) through engagement with the National Ministry of Health (MoH) and priority Counties. County governments play a key role in CLTS implementation as the Constitution of Kenya 2010 established a highly devolved model of governance, creating 47 county governments with responsibility for delivering basic services, including drinking water and sanitation. This project aims at fostering results and achievement of the National ODF Roadmap.The project will be implemented in 9 Counties with high rates of open defecation, namely Turkana, Narok, Kilifi, Baringo, Samburu, Homa Bay, Kwale, West Pokot and Marsabit, over a period of 12 months. Implementation will be done through selected NGOs and County Governments.
