The Barriers to Improve Hygiene and Sanitation Practices in Rural Ethiopia. People in Need. PIN (2017)
One of the main objectives of development practitioners is to enable people to adopt and practice positive behaviours that help them to improve the quality of their lives. Development projects frequently make assumptions about why people do not follow the positive behaviors these interventions promote. However, such assumptions are often wrong and decrease the effectiveness of well-intended interventions. People in Need (PIN) believes that the best approach to commencing new projects is to thoroughly understand people’s attitudes, beliefs and practices regarding the behaviors the intervention aims to change. Formative research is an essential step in designing an effective behaviour change strategy. This report documents the results of the formative research conducted for the project “Improvement of Health, Hygiene and Sanitation in selected towns and villages of Sidama Zone, Ethiopia (SNNPR)”. The project’s implementation period is 2017-2020 and is funded by the Czech Development Agency. The Overall Objective is “Improved health of 10 target communities in Bensa, Bana, Hula, Aleta Wondo, Aleta Chuko and Loka Abaya Woredas” and the specific objective is “Improved hygiene and sanitation practices of all household members and health facility staff in the 10 target communities”.
