The Global Handwashing Partnership (GHP) Annual Report for 2017 is now available. The report covers key accomplishments for the year, including:

Celebrating Global Handwashing Day: This year’s Global Handwashing Day focused on the benefits
of handwashing in building healthy futures, and participants hosted celebrations in communities, on
national levels, and on social media.

Learning about drivers for handwashing behavior change: Our webinar, nudges document, and research summary helped handwashing practitioners leverage behavioral drivers to encourage handwashing with soap.

Advocating for the critical role of hygiene in the SDGs: Handwashing with soap has benefits in health, education, equity, and much more. We produced an advocacy brief and used global events to call attention to the life-saving potential of good handwashing habits.
