Effectiveness of coordination in humanitarian water, sanitation, and hygiene (Wash) response
We found that incorporating the ToC into the Minimum Requirements successfully supported humanitarian WASH responses. Additionally, while staffing levels are necessary to achieve response outputs and outcomes, they are not sufficient. Other factors, such as poor funding, inadequate monitoring and evaluation, and a need for localization, also impacted response outputs and outcomes. In a time of reduced humanitarian funding, investment in Global WA…
Qualitative analysis of cash‐based interventions for water, sanitation, and hygiene operations and maintenance in internally displaced persons sites in Kachin, Myanmar
Cash‐based interventions are increasingly used in humanitarian response, including in the water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) sector. To strengthen evidence, we conducted a qualitative study on cash‐based interventions programs for WASH operations and maintenance in Kachin, Myanmar. We collected field data for one programme and completed a desk review for two programs. We found camp‐based committees were responsible for spending decisions and c…
Gaps in humanitarian Wash response
Water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) interventions prevent and control disease in humanitarian response. To inform future funding and policy priorities, WASH ‘gaps’ were identified via 220 focus‐group discussions with people affected by crises and WASH practitioners, 246 global survey respondents, and 614 documents. After extraction, 2,888 (48 per cent) gaps from direct feedback and 3,151 (52 per cent) from literature were categorised. People af…
Lessons learned from conducting six multi-country mixed-methods effectiveness research studies on water, sanitation, and hygiene (Wash) interventions in humanitarian response
In conclusion, we have found multi-country, mixed-methods results to be one crucial piece of the WASH evidence base in humanitarian contexts. This is particularly because evaluations of reductions in risk from real-world programming are policy-relevant, and are directly used to improve programming. In future, we need to flexibly work with donors, agencies, institutions, responders, local governments, local responders, and beneficiaries to design …
Evidence summary of water, sanitation, and hygiene (Wash) coordination in humanitarian response
Providing water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) to emergency‐affected populations is necessary for reasons of dignity and disease control. Such a (humanitarian) response is coordinated via the ‘cluster approach'. This study utilises a literature review, an appraisal of and analysis of Global WASH Cluster (GWC) documentation, and key informant interviews to summarise the outcomes and impacts of GWC coordination. Across these three datasets, consis…
Water, sanitation, and hygiene access in southern Syria
The private sector has effectively replaced decaying infrastructure in Syria, although at high cost and uncertain quality. Allowing market forces to manage WASH services and quantity, and targeting emergency response activities on increasing affordability with well-targeted subsidies and improving water quality and regulation via WSPs can be an effective, scalable, and cost-effective strategy to guarantee water and sanitation access in protracted…
Setting priorities for humanitarian water, sanitation and hygiene research
Recent systematic reviews have highlighted a paucity of rigorous evidence to guide water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) interventions in humanitarian crises. In June 2017, the Research for Health in Humanitarian Crises (R2HC) programme of Elrha, convened a meeting of representatives from international response agencies, research institutions and donor organisations active in the field of humanitarian WASH to identify research priorities, discuss …
Viability of Commercially Available Bleach for Water Treatment in Developing Countries
Treating household water with low-cost, widely available commercial bleach is recommended by some organizations to improve water quality and reduce disease in developing countries. I analyzed the chlorine concentration of 32 bleaches from 12 developing countries; the average error between advertised and measured concentration was 35% (range = –45%–100%; standard deviation = 40%). Because of disparities between advertised and actual concentration,…
