An impact evaluation report of baseline and ending survey of WSP's Global Scaling Up Rural Sanitation Program aimed at helping millions of people to improve their welfare and health outcomes.
The goal of Global Scaling Up Handwashing is to reduce the risk of diarrhea and therefore increase household productivity by stimulating and sustaining the behavior of handwashing with soap at critical times in the lives of 5.4 million people in Peru, Senegal, Tanzania, and Vietnam, where the project has been implemented to date.
Data contains effect of handwashing promotion on handwashing behaviour, effects of improved handwashing behaviour on welfare and health, and the most cost-effective promotion strategies for achieving the desired outcomes.
The project implementation was by the national and local governments with technical support of WSP. The interventions borrow from commercial and social marketing fields by designing communication campaigns and messages likely to bring out desired behaviour changes and delivering them strategically such as surrounding the "audience" by handwashing promotion through multiple channels.
