All 64 Unions (32 intervention and 32 comparison) were selected with >70 % sanitation. All members of UPs and CWGs received training on sanitation related policy, gender and social aspects in intervention unions. The outcomes were assessed by comparing the structure of UPs and conditions of household latrines during baseline and end line surveys. Randomly selected approximately 1, 143 households in intervention and 1, 134 in comparison areas were observed. WMUP led UP sanitation structure changed from 6 % to 97 % in intervention area while remained same in comparison area (25 %). The basic latrine use was significantly different/higher in intervention than comparison during end-line survey (77.7 % vs 69.3 %, C. I.0.047 to 0.120, P
