| description |
In response to the preventable threats
posed by poor sanitation and hygiene, the Water and
Sanitation Program (WSP) launched two large-scale projects,
global scaling up handwashing and global scaling up rural
sanitation, to improve the health and welfare outcomes for
millions of poor people. Local and national governments are
implementing these projects with technical support from WSP.
Global scaling up handwashing aims to test whether
handwashing with soap behavior can be generated and
sustained among the poor and vulnerable using innovative
promotional approaches. The primary objectives are to reduce
the risk of diarrhea in young children and increase
household productivity by stimulating and sustaining the
behavior of handwashing with soap at critical times.
Overall, the project aims to generate and sustain
handwashing with soap practices among 5.4 million people
living in Peru, Senegal, Tanzania, and Vietnam, the four
countries where the project has been implemented to date.
This technical paper presents the findings of the WSP impact
evaluation (IE) baseline survey in Peru and is one in a
series of papers presenting IE findings from surveys
conducted in each project country. |
