USAID (2018) Toward a hygienic environment for infants and young children A Review of the Literature
The USAID Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene Partnerships and Learning for Sustainability (WASHPaLS) project conducted a review of the scientific and grey literature, complemented by dozens of key informant interviews with researchers and field implementers, to synthesize the latest understanding of key pathways of fecal microbe ingestion by infants and young children (IYC) and their links to diarrhea, EED, and poor nutrition and development outcomes. Specifically, the […]

Crystal Huang, Steven Walker, Adrian Brillantes-Stepper, Carolien van der Voorden (2023) Area-wide sanitation Overview and evidence gaps
The last few decades have witnessed substantial gains in access to sanitation, as nearly 2.4 billion people gained access to improved toilets and open defecation (OD) rates fell 12 percentage-points globally (from 21% to 9%) between 2000 and 2020. Despite this progress, many countries are off track to meet their sustainable development goal (SDG) 6.2 targets. To reach these targets by 2030, a concerted effort […]

Crystal Huang, Chau Hoang, Steven Walker, Estelle Plat, Carolien van der Voorden (2023) The use of subsidies in an area-wide sanitation approach Overview and evidence gaps
Hardware subsidies used to be commonplace policy tools for expanding sanitation access in rural areas. Overtime, however, hardware subsidies were found to produce distortionary effects on sanitation markets and failed to achieve sustained latrine usage and hygienic behaviors, and therefore declined in popularity in the mid-2000s. However, “no subsidy” approaches are not sufficient either, in improving sanitation outcomes. This review, produced by USAID’s WASHPaLS #2 […]

USAID (2024) Monitoring, evaluation, and adaptive management for area-wide sanitation and hygiene: Workshop report
Monitoring and evaluation (M&E) is essential to understanding the barriers, successes, and progress made toward achieving area-wide sanitation and hygiene outcomes. However, M&E can be challenging to undertake, given significant and competing demands on limited local government resources and capacities. USAID’s WASHPaLS #2 area-wide sanitation (AWS) desk review identified significant knowledge gaps around effective practices, processes, and systems for M&E and adaptive management of area-wide […]

Rishi Agarwal, Subhash Chennuri (2024) Business Models for Rural Fecal Sludge Management (FSM)
Over the last decade, basic sanitation coverage in rural areas of low- and middle-income countries has progressed significantly, especially in Asia. Sustaining those resulting gains in human, environmental, and community health, all while progressing toward targets of Sustainable Development Goal 6, requires safely managing the fecal sludge generated in on-site sanitation systems. When latrines are full, some households abandon them and build anew, while others choose […]
