Hygiene Behaviour - completed
Do changes in hygiene behaviour last, and if so, what makes them last? What do the answers to these questions mean for our hygiene programmes? These are the main questions the hygiene behaviour research project intended to address. The research was funded by the European Commission under its INCO-programme (as part of the research framework programme) and by the Dutch Department for Development Cooperation.
Promoting sanitation and hygiene to rural households in Ethiopia
02 Sep 08
In 2003 Ethiopia's Southern Nations region (SNNPR) bureau of health began a new community health strategy including sanitation and hygiene. The bureau of health focused on a small number of 'broad-based, low-cost and high impact oriented' public health interventions in order to improve the status of basic health across the region. The approach was aimed at reaching households via (employed) health extension workers and (volunteer) community health promoters. This initiative has now been studied by RiPPLE.
