2. What is SZF
• It is aimed at announcing to the rest of the
world that the community is practicing basic
hygiene and sanitation.
• It is to make sanitation practice competitive
among the communities and such competition
will become permanent.
• SFZ is a status symbol which other
communities will want to emulate

3. How does it work?
• Competition is between communities (maximum
10).
• A monitoring and scoring team is constituted
with representatives from each of the
communities who are trained in hygiene and
sanitation monitoring and scoring.
• Community-Based hygiene and sanitation
volunteers are formed in the various
communities.
• Staff of the District EHU and committee set up
modalities for scoring.

4. How does it work? Cont’d
• monitoring and scoring is done over the first
three months.
• The winning community is giving a flag to host
in their community.
• Follow-up monitoring is done monthly and if
the winning community is not able to
maintain or improve standard, the flag is taken
away from them and given to the winning
community.

5. Outcome
• Hosing the flag has become a status symbol in the
communities.
• It has taken sanitation beyond CLTS.
• Five communities have been declared ODF status
by the Northern Regional EHU in the Karaga
district.
• Expecting that more communities will be
declared ODF status in the other districts
• Communities who are not part of the
competition are replicating.
