0. Synthesis

A comprehensive synthesis of the discussion is available here.

1. Introduction

The thematic discussion is a joint project from the Water Supply and Sanitation Collaborative Council (WSSCC) and the Sustainable Sanitation Alliance (SuSanA). A coordinator ensures that content is shared across both communities. The discussion will be split into three sub-themes to further explore how behavior change can be better understood and improved to ensure health and WASH outcomes are sustained. Thematic experts will frame and prompt debates each week on:

Theme 1: Programming for scale – how can public WASH systems be strengthened to support at-scale change? How fast should scale occur? How are governments engaged in monitoring and evaluating behavior change outcomes? What are the social dynamics required for people to truly change their behaviors?

Theme 2: Sustainability for behavior change – how can behavior change become systematized and sustained? What are the behavioral determinants and behavior change techniques we should be aware of?

Theme 3: ODF and slippage – after CLTS interventions, how can ODF status be ensured? What degree of monitoring and evaluation can or should there be? And, at what cost? Learning from a concurrent discussion by IRC on urban CLTS (28/09 to 09/10) will also be brought into the debate.

  • 22 - 28 September: Programming for scale (Theme 1)
