Abstract | The intention of this report from a UNICEF sponsored Eastern and Southern Africa Regional Workshop on Sanitation, held October, 1994, in Zimbabwe, is to advocate sanitation promotion and good hygiene behaviour to ensure health and economic benefits for the population of the Region. Four messages evolved from the workshop; namely, sanitation needs a higher priority on the development agenda; behaviour change is a crucial element of improved sanitation; improved sanitation is a process, not a top-down decree; and participatory methods of implementation and greater understanding of the complexities and interlinkages of technical and behavioural elements are essential. The document contains the workshop proceedings, outcomes and evaluation, supported by several annexes. The main outcomes from the workshop include the provisional establishment of a follow-up mechanism (a sanitation/ hygiene network), continued collaboration on sanitation promotion activities at global and regional levels, and draft guidelines for preparing country sanitation situation analyses. |
