| Summary: | From 2003 to 2006, a rural pilot project
was conducted in Vietnam with technical support from the
non-governmental organization (NGO) International
Development Enterprises (IDE) and funding from Danish
International Development Assistance (DANIDA). The project
tested whether a sanitation marketing approach could improve
rural access to sanitary toilets in 30 communes in six
districts of the coastal provinces of Thanh Hoa and Quang
Nam. Research for the case study took place between June and
August 2009. Local sanitation statistics were collected in
all study communes. Semi-structured interviews were held
with the promoters, providers, and some local government
authorities. Interviews were held with district and
provincial authorities and at a national level with the Non
Governmental Organizations (NGOs), national authorities, and
donors involved in rural sanitation. With the help of
participatory tools, focus group discussions were held with
sixty-one householders who had built sanitary toilets or
upgraded their unsanitary ones, and sixty householders who
had either no toilet or a still unsanitary one. Finally, the
study team visited a very small and non-random sample of
installed toilets to observe the quality of construction and
hygiene as per the national standards of the Ministry of Health. |
