Improved health and behaviour through integration of food hygiene and WASH Morse, T., Chidziwisano, K., Brennan, M., Tilley, E., Malolo, R. (2019)
Children in rural Malawi live in environments heavily contaminated with pathogens that cause diarrhoea. Food hygiene and animal stool management are neglected areas of hygiene in research and programming. Improving food hygiene through behaviour change can significantly reduce diarrhoeal disease and should be integrated into programmes on water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) and nutrition. Building social capital and relationships through use of existing community structures is integral to achieving sustained behaviour change in WASH, food hygiene and nutrition interventions
