Combining hygiene behavior change with water & sanitation: A pilot project in Hato Mayor, Dominican Republic Torres, M. P., Bendahmane, D., Post, M., Kleinau, E. (2004)
In the summer of 2000, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID)/Dominican Republic initiated a project to add hygiene behavior activities to a water and sanitation construction program (RECON) launched by USAID in 1999 to repair the damage wreaked by Hurricane Georges. The RECON program had a $7 million health component that included community-based integrated management of childhood illnesses but no specific attention to hygiene. USAID requested the Environmental Health Project (EHP) to provide technical assistance to incorporate the behavior-change approach, the goal being to increase the health impact of the water and sanitation projects.
