The purpose is to significantly increase sanitation adoption and accelerate hygiene behavior change among rural poor communities in Vietnam and Cambodia.
Short description of the project:
The CHOBA program is intended to increase sanitation coverage and the adoption of safe hygiene practices in rural communities across Cambodia and Vietnam, dramatically scaling up a previous output-based aid (OBA) latrine program. Under CHOBA, East Meets West (EMW) teams in Vietnam and Cambodia work with local implementation partners to facilitate the purchase of hygienic toilets and septic systems by vulnerable households. Going door-to-door, CHOBA program personnel encourage households to build improved household sanitation facilities and connect them with both approved local construction contractors and consumer lenders. Households are offered a consumer rebate upon verification of a properly built and used toilet with an associated handwash station, and the program also offers conditional cash transfers for the achievement of community-wide improved sanitation coverage benchmarks.
