Step-by-step explanation:

CLTS (community-led total sanitation) is a method of improving sanitation and hygiene practices in a community that is primarily employed in poor countries. It focuses on an entire community's spontaneous and long-term behavior transformation. CLTS aims to eliminate open defecation. The CLTS process revolves around the term "triggering." It refers to methods for stimulating community enthusiasm in stopping open defecation, mainly through the construction of rudimentary toilets like pit latrines. CLTS entails taking steps that promote one's self-esteem and pride in one's community. It also includes feelings of humiliation and disgust over one's own open defecation habits.
