Global Handwashing with Soap Project • Intensive learning project funded by BMGF • 2006-2010 • Peru, Vietnam, Senegal and Tanzania • Targeting mainly caretakers of children < 5 years of age
Project Objectives • Learn what it takes to stimulate HWWS at large scale • Sustain activities after project ends • Measure impact on health

Men May Also Need to Part of the Behavior Change Journey Source: Monitoring system, Senegal (WSP)
Programs Also Need to Include HWWS Stations • HWWS stations provide: • Ease of access when, where needed • Environmental cue • Norm appeal • Need to think beyond tippy-taps: • Mechanics of HWWS • User preferences • Size matters • Appearances
Design iteration of Mrembo, IFC/WSP Selling Sanitation Design iteration of Happy Tap, Watershed Asia
Stand-Alone Interventions May Not Be Sustainable • Consider integrating and mainstreaming through: • Nutrition programs (e.g., cash transfers) • Ante-natal clinics • Sanitation • Corporate social responsibility • But recognize this is further burdening health systems
Focus Opportunity Getting the Right Behavior Change Framework Ability Motivation Target behavior Beliefs & attitudes Knowledge Access/availability Outcomeexpectations Product attributes Target population Social support Threat Social norms Intention
Norming the Behavior • Use subjective norms rather than descriptive • Make the norm noticeable/visible • Present the norm at the time desirable behavioris to occur • Select communication channels that can allow for modeling • Reinforce with policy
Prompting • Critical for habit formation • Consider environmental cues: • HWWS stations • Stickers/posters/print materials • Mobile applications • Consider social cues: • Leverage household and community roles • Shift message from “Wash your hands” to “Remind someone to wash their hands”
