Objective
Changes in hygiene behaviour are crucial for health impact from water and sanitation facilities. However, systematic research into the sustainability of such changes and developing guidelines for achieving it, received little attention. Through this CA experiences are brought together that indicate that some changes in hygiene behaviour brought about during implementation of water and sanitation projects are sustained and others disappear after the project has terminated. If the basic needs water and sanitation are indeed to bring about health impact, insight is needed into the conditions under which changes in hygiene behaviour take place and will be sustained. Field research, based on an account of the current state of knowledge and positive and negative experiences, combined with exchange of information through the CA will generate the insight tube disseminated.
