Implementation of a behaviour change campaign to promote positive household water treatment behaviours in earthquake-affected areas of rural Nepal

Previous findings indicated that while water supply in communities where local organizations implement WASH services were already high, the ‘correct, consistent and continued’ use of household water treatment and safe storage (HWTS) technologies was decreasing. Local organizations recognized that the way to ensure long-term well-being and resiliency of their communities is to have people adopt ongoing positive practices of drinking potable water. This is the first known research to share learnings using the Behaviour Centered Design (BCD) approach to influence water treatment behaviours.
