Abstract:
One of the objectives of the USAID West Africa Water Supply, Hygiene and Sanitation (USAID WA-WASH) Program is to support catalytic approaches to accelerate regional access to improved water supply, sanitation services and hygiene behavior. In line with this goal, USAID WA-WASH through Winrock, one of the Program’s implementing partners, conducted a study to gather baseline data on community knowledge, attitudes and practices in relation to maintenance of water services and hygiene behavior. Specific objectives of the study were to: (1) gather information on community health and water points; (2) gather information on latrines and hand washing stations; (3) identify the major diseases related to poor hygiene and water; and (4) determine the functionality of community health structures
