In 2014, Caritas Switzerland in Kenya started a learning and critical review process on how to improve its WASH in school interventions […]

A number of WASH-specific models and frameworks exist, yet with some limitations. The IBM-WASH model aims to provide both a conceptual and practical tool for improving our understanding and evaluation of the multi-level multi-dimensional factors that influence water, sanitation, and hygiene practices in infrastructure-constrained settings. We outline future applications of our proposed model as well as future research priorities needed to advance our understanding of […]

Dreibelbis, R., Kroeger, A., Hossain, K., Venkatesh, M., Ram, P.K. (2016) Behavior Change without Behavior Change Communication: Nudging Handwashing among Primary School Students in Bangladesh

Behavior change communication for improving handwashing with soap can be labor and resource intensive, yet quality results are difficult to achieve. Nudges are environmental cues engaging unconscious decision-making processes to prompt behavior change.

Dominguez, E. (2017) Baby WASH and the 1,000 Days. A Practical Package for Stunting Reduction. Contributing to Malnutrition Reduction Through a Multi-Sector Approach

Poor WASH conditions are thought to be one of the main causes of child stunting. The household environment in which children develop and grow is highly related to their nutritional status. Direct and indirect pathways exist between WASH and stunting, from diarrheal diseases and Environmental Enteric Dysfunction (EED), to socio-economic conditions and time constraints to child care practices. The BabyWASH concept has recently emerged to […]
