Hello all,

As you may have noted, we've moved the discussion on to look specifically at behaviour change techniques and how we might be able to understand, influence and transform social norms and behaviours around hygiene practices. Here are some suggested resources for you to consider reading:

Here's an interesting blog article looking at behaviour change from a different perspective:

Take a look at some of UNICEF's work here: www.unicef.org/wash/index_43107.html

Specifically on handwashing, please find the many resources of The Global Public-Private Partnership for Handwashing available here: globalhandwashing.org/resources-main/

Many thanks, Tracey

Hello everyone,

To prompt further thoughts and if you would like to read more of the literature about scaling up WASH, please take a look at some of these resource documents. All are available online but are brought together here for ease of reference.

Oddsdottir, F. (2014). Evaluations of scaling up, GSDRC Helpdesk Research Report 1097, GSDRC: University of Birmingham

USAID (2011) At-Scale Hygiene and Sanitation Experiences and Lessons Learned, USAID Hygiene Improvement Project, The Academy for Educational Development, Washington D.C.

Water and Sanitation Program (2012) What Does It Take to Scale Up Rural Sanitation? Water and Sanitation Program Working Paper series

Taylor, B. (2013) Effectiveness, Scale and Sustainability in WASH Programmes – A Review, Springfield Working Paper Series (2), The Springfield Centre, Durham.

Here's a quote from one of the papers that I particularly liked:

People could be provided with the most effective sanitation hardware available but they are unlikely to alter their habits unless they are aware of the incentives to do so.


As a bit of fun, if you can identify who said this, you will win the coveted and one-off Reader-of-the-Day Award!

Thank you!
