What We are Trying to Do? • Share Evidence and Learning • Build capacity of governments and partners • Develop and Strengthen HWWS behavior change programs. SCALE and SUSTAIN: 5.4 Million Women and Children Peru, Senegal, Tanzania Vietnam Performance Monitoring/ Impact Evaluation Learning Behavior Change Interventions Enabling Environment
Focus Vietnam • Target behavior • Target population
Peru • Opportunity • Access/availability • Product attributes • Social norms
Senegal • Ability • Knowledge • Social support
Some Lessons and Challenges • Greater attention to the institutional landscape (public, private, and NGO sectors) is needed upfront • Reaching out to private sector beyond soap companies helps to scale up and sustain • Learning and knowledge sharing difficult to do, when implementation faces challenges and delays • Need for strong results framework and monitoring system • Building capacity is not enough; incentives, supervision, monitoring (accountability)
