Resumen
Descripción
The World Bank is committed to providing opportunities
for healthy child development, and ensuring
safe sanitation and good hygiene is critical to achieving
that. In Tanzania, the World Bank’s Water and Sanitation
Partnership worked with the government to create
and implement campaigns to improve sanitation and reduce
illness among young children by encouraging handwashing
and use of improved sanitation such as toilets.
A randomized evaluation, built into the program, found
that while open defecation was reduced, the handwashing
campaign wasn’t successful at getting people to wash
their hands with soap and water, and neither campaign
led to meaningful health benefits, even when combined.
The evidence reveals the difficulties of reducing diarrheal
disease and the need for more research to identify
successful strategies.
