| description |
Sanitation needs are significant in
Bangladesh, which is the most densely populated country in
the world and one of the poorest. Adding to the challenge,
about one-third of Bangladesh experiences annual floods and
other parts of the country suffer seasonal water shortages.
All of these factors have implications for the ability of
rural Bangladeshis to construct and maintain latrines.
Improving sanitation is a high priority national policy goal
in Bangladesh. The goal of this study is to provide the
Government of Bangladesh (GoB) and it's in country
partners with evidence on what makes sanitation behaviors,
facilities, related benefits, and programs sustainable in
the Bangladesh context. The study focused on five specific
objectives: determine the current status of latrine
facilities built pre-and post-(Open Defecation-Free) ODF
declaration and sanitation practices; understand the
perceived benefits to households and communities from
community-wide ODF approaches since declaring ODF status;
understand whether programmatic inputs from local and
national governments and civil society sanitation programs
had been sustained to support communities in maintaining
their ODF status and helping the poor obtain access to
latrines; understand how the growth or attrition of
sanitation products and services has affected the
sustainability of sanitation behaviors and facilities and
ODF status; and most importantly, understand why households
and communities had or had not sustained improved sanitation
behaviors since ODF declaration. |
