Partnerships build momentum for improved sanitation and hygiene

SNV Vietnam’s partnership with the Dien Bien Women’s Union and with the Provincial Department of Health is building momentum for improved sanitation and hygiene through mobilising women from the province, to the district, commune and village level, while increasing recognition for the role of women in sanitation improvement. The Dien Bien Women’s Unions large membership (74,000 women in the province representing some 70% of women in total), the existing network, communication skills and interest in sanitation has led to a successful partnership.
