About WaterAid
WaterAid is an international charity working in 38 countries including Pakistan. Our vision is of a world where everyone everywhere has access to safe water and sanitation, and our mission is to transform the lives of the poorest and most marginalised people by improving access to safe water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH). We support local organisations and government authorities to design and demonstrate appropriate and sustainable WASH programmes. WaterAid also seeks to influence policy change through government and other key sector actors to secure and protect the rights of marginalized and vulnerable people to safe and affordable water and sanitation services. www.wateraid.org/pk.
There is a long effort that WaterAid has put into the national MHM movement and HerWASH, which aims to involve a selected and motivated group of people from government, parliamentarians, civil society organisations, health professionals, the corporate sector, private schools, and students to support in the creation of an enabling environment for girls and women in schools, healthcare facilities, and workplaces and to enhance the participation of women in the workforce through MHM and WASH integrated at workplaces.
Background
Hygiene promotion is most important when people lack good water and sanitation services. undoubtedly, that is when health risks are great, especially when there is not enough water easily available for personal and domestic hygiene and excreta are left in the open; but, it is also evident that even when water and sanitation facilities are improved, good hygienic habits do not follow automatically. Hygiene promotion requires a planned, systematic approach to enable people to take action to prevent or mitigate water, sanitation, and hygiene-related diseases and provides a practical way to facilitate community participation and accountability.
Contrary to the required planned approach, in practice, there are still many blanket campaigns and identical IEC material-based approaches used for transforming behaviours without considering the actual behaviours/motives to be targeted.
Hygiene Behaviour Change Communication (HBCC) is thus be an essential and crosscutting component of all WASH and MHH programme with aim to improve public health, dignity and wellbeing of the people in need. It is based on using interactive process with communities to develop tailored IEC messages and BCC approaches considering a variety of communication channels to promote positive behaviors and sustain individual, community, and societal behavior change. BCC involves the development and implementation of communication messages; communication activities and a supportive environment needed to promote and sustain behavior change.
To change hygiene behaviours of communities, WaterAid adopts the “Assess, Build, Create, Deliver and Evaluate (ABCDE) approach” of behaviour change, which provides a concrete framework that can be used to design a theory driven but context specific behaviour change interventions. This approach involves a systematic and planned step to design and adopt localized and tailored tools and channels to change and sustain behaviours.
