Thanks for connecting the threads, Elisabeth!
Just to note, in addition to the compendium Columbia University and the IRC have also just published a new MHM rapid assessment tool (M-RAT). The M-RAT is used to evaluate the status & reach of MHM programming within an ongoing humanitarian emergency. It can help to identify strengths & areas for improvement, and to track progress over time!

Hello!
I wanted to provide another update from Columbia University and IRC's menstrual waste disposal, waste management and laundering in emergencies project. The first article describing key findings from the assessment activities is now available in Conflict and Health.
Article: Innovative strategies for providing menstruation-supportive Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) facilities: learning from refugee camps in Cox's bazar, Bangladesh.
Best,
Maggie
