Kenya Open Defecation Free Rural Kenya Campaign

A Kenyan government sanitation campaign initiated in May 2011, adopting Community-Led Total Sanitation as its core strategy for eliminating open defecation across the country's rural areas. The Open Defecation Free Rural Kenya Campaign was built around the ODF Rural Kenya Campaign Roadmap 2011-2013, which set an initial national target of ending open defecation by 2013, and the Ministry of Health, supported by the development organization SNV, built a web-based monitoring and evaluation system to track villages' progress toward certified open-defecation-free status. The original roadmap's 2013 target was not reached nationwide, and the government subsequently adopted a longer National ODF Kenya 2020 Campaign Framework covering 2016 to 2020, aiming to declare all of Kenya's villages open-defecation-free by the later date, extending the same community-led approach the original 2011 campaign had established.
