| Summary: | WASH practitioners and decision-makers
lack evidence on the wider health and social effects of
WASHinterventions needed to create a paradigm shift in the
sector. A global overview and meta-analysis on the effects
of different WASH interventions on different health and
socioeconomic outcomes was undertaken. The results of this
analysis show that evaluations of WASH interventions
continue to focus predominantly on reducing diarrheal
disease and there is a strong need for larger, more
rigorously designed studies covering a broader scope of
outcome effects. Similarly, there is a need for greater
geographical representation and finally, well-trained
implementing agencies to achieve the desired results. |
