Water supply is a basic human right and governments have sought to fulfil this right through free supply of water. The emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic has pushed governments, including the Government of Ghana, to return to supply of free water as a measure of enhancing personal hygiene in fighting against the COVID-19 pandemic. This study sought to analyse the reliability of water supply before and during the COVID-19 pandemic and the state of households’ water consumption during the pandemic. The paper is based on an online survey of 4,257 urban households across the 16 administrative regions of Ghana. The study found that flow reliability has increased during the COVID-19 pandemic free water delivery. We also established that correlation between consumption before and during the pandemic was r = 0.659, p < 0.01. Therefore, use of the ‘stay home campaign’ as a strategy to contain the disease in addition to social connection and sharing free water, have increased domestic water consumption. Although the pandemic necessitated the return to water being delivered as a basic necessity to fight against the pandemic, the emphasis on ‘back to basics’ was not fully implemented. This is because some urban households that could not pay water bills prior to the free water supply were denied the COVID-19 pandemic free water package and rural households who relied on point sources also did not benefit from the package. © The authors, 2022.
供水是一项基本人权,各国政府努力通过免费供水来实现这一权利。新冠肺炎大流行的出现促使包括加纳政府在内的各国政府恢复免费供水,作为在抗击新冠肺炎大流行过程中加强个人卫生的一项措施。本研究旨在分析新冠肺炎大流行之前和期间供水的可靠性,以及大流行期间家庭用水状况。该论文基于对加纳16个行政区4257个城市家庭的在线调查。研究发现,在新冠肺炎无疫情供水期间,流量可靠性有所提高。我们还确定,疫情前和疫情期间的消费之间的相关性为r=0.659,p<0.01。因此,除了社会联系和共享免费水外,将“宅在家里运动”作为控制疾病的策略,也增加了生活用水。尽管疫情需要恢复供水,这是抗击疫情的基本必需品,但对“回归基本”的强调并没有得到充分落实。这是因为一些无法在免费供水之前支付水费的城市家庭被拒绝享受新冠肺炎疫情免费供水计划,而依赖点源的农村家庭也没有从该计划中受益。©作者,2022。

Over the next 10 years, the humanitarian and development fields will face significant changes as new skills, expanded technologies, and shifting funding streams prompt innovation in order to maintain impact As the length of humanitarian crises expand relief response can no longer be viewed merely through the humanitarian lens, but current and future crisis responses increasingly require long-term development considerations Integration across the humanitarian-development nexus will be vital to future emergency response The interdisciplinary nature of the WASH sector makes it ideally placed to lead further integration with sectors like health, nutrition, livelihoods, child protection, and education Integration of the WASH sector is not only possible but essential to face the challenges of future crises COVID-19 is a wake-up call showing how quickly global humanitarian needs can change and the need for a more integrated response to emergencies Tomorrow's WASH practitioners will need to be proactive in developing new hard and soft skills and have broader multi-sectoral experience to succeed Future integration will require stronger relationships between multi-mandated organizations, governments, and the private sector as well as new innovative funding sources, including impact investing, blended finance, and development impact bonds We argue that there is a unique window of opportunity to bridge these gaps as COVID-19 brings the value of effective WASH programming forward as a foundational part of long-term resilience building To indeed provide life-saving interventions as humanitarian works claim to do, we must start with a clear focus on the long-term developmental ends in mind
在今后10年里,人道主义和发展领域将面临重大变化,因为新的技能、扩大的技术和不断变化的资金流促使创新,以保持影响。人道主义危机持续时间的延长,不能再仅仅从人道主义的角度来看待救济反应。但是,当前和未来的危机应对日益需要考虑长期发展问题。人道主义与发展之间的综合关系对未来的应急反应至关重要。讲卫生运动部门的跨学科性质使其处于理想地位,可与卫生、营养、生计、儿童保护、2019冠状病毒病敲响了警钟,表明全球人道主义需求的变化速度有多快,需要对紧急情况采取更加综合的应对措施。未来的WASH从业人员需要积极主动地培养新的硬技能和软技能,并拥有更广泛的多部门经验,才能取得成功。未来的整合需要加强多职能部门之间的关系组织、政府和私营部门以及新的创新资金来源,包括影响力投资、混合融资和发展影响债券。我们认为,随着COVID-19将有效的WASH规划的价值提升为长期抵御力建设的基础部分,我们面临着弥合这些差距的独特机会之窗。我们必须首先明确地把重点放在长期发展目标上

This scoping study aimed to be the first to explore the number of children aged 5 to 12 in an emergency setting (Tukaley village, Ethiopia) wetting themselves, and demand for support to manage self-wetting in the home. A survey asked 524 children about their latrine behaviours; and 312 adult caregivers about the latrine behaviours of the children aged 5 to 12 they care for. Few adult caregivers (1 per cent) indicated that children were self-wetting during the day and/or night, and only one child indicated self-wetting (during the day). Yet the survey revealed demand from adult caregivers for household items typically used to manage involuntary self-wetting. This could suggest self-wetting is occurring, but there is a reluctance to disclose it. Given the impact of self-wetting on the lives of children and their adult caregivers, it would be unethical for it not to be considered when developing emergency programmes across sectors including the water, sanitation, and hygiene sector. With further research and modifications to the survey, it could provide greater clarity on the number of children self-wetting and the scale of demand for support to inform emergency programme design.
这项范围界定研究旨在首次探索5至12岁儿童在紧急情况下(埃塞俄比亚Tukaley村)自我湿润的人数,以及对管理家庭自我湿润的支持需求。一项调查询问了524名儿童的厕所行为;312名成人护理人员了解他们所照顾的5至12岁儿童的厕所行为。很少有成人照顾者(1%)表示儿童在白天和/或晚上会自我湿润,只有一名儿童表示(白天)会自我湿润。然而,调查显示,成人护理人员对通常用于管理非自愿自湿的家庭用品的需求。这可能表明正在发生自我湿润,但人们不愿透露。考虑到自我湿润对儿童及其成年照顾者生活的影响,在制定包括水、环境卫生和个人卫生部门在内的各个部门的应急计划时,不考虑这一点是不道德的。随着对调查的进一步研究和修改,它可以更清楚地了解儿童自我湿润的人数和对支持的需求规模,为应急计划的设计提供信息。

Our study’s objective is to examine the various socio-demographic and mass media factors of sanitary item usage among rural and urban women in India. We have used data from the Indian version of the Demographic and Health Survey, conducted in 2015–16 for this study, with a sample of 247,833 women in the age group of 15 to 24 years. Binary logistics regression was performed separately for urban and rural women to understand the various determinants of sanitary item usage. We found that three-quarters of women in urban areas use sanitary items compared to half of the women in rural areas. Indian women in rural areas appear to be at a considerable disadvantage compared to their urban counterparts with regard to sanitary item usage. Factors determining sanitary item usage did not vary between urban and rural areas. However, education, wealth, mass media, and toilet facility were the major factors in understanding the improvement in sanitary item usage in urban and rural areas. At the policy level, there is need to focus on (a) disseminating knowledge about menstrual hygiene management (MHM) practices and provisioning of sanitary items; and (b) providing exposure to traditional media channels to potentially reduce the social stigma associated with these issues and bring critical conversations to the forefront, especially among the socio-economically disadvantaged groups.
我们的研究目的是检查印度农村和城市妇女卫生用品使用的各种社会人口和大众媒体因素。我们使用了印度版人口与健康调查的数据,该调查于2015-16年进行,样本为247833名年龄在15至24岁之间的女性。分别对城市和农村妇女进行二元logistic回归,以了解卫生用品使用的各种决定因素。我们发现,城市地区四分之三的妇女使用卫生用品,而农村地区只有一半的妇女使用卫生用品。在卫生用品的使用方面,与城市妇女相比,农村地区的印度妇女似乎处于相当不利的地位。决定卫生用品使用的因素在城市和农村之间没有差异。然而,教育、财富、大众传媒和厕所设施是理解城乡卫生用品使用改善的主要因素。在政策层面,需要着重于(a)传播有关经期卫生管理做法的知识和提供卫生用品;(b)提供接触传统媒体渠道的机会,以潜在地减少与这些问题相关的社会耻辱,并将关键对话带到最前沿,特别是在社会经济上处于不利地位的群体中。

In disaster settings, women and girls face additional challenges in safely managing menstruation with confidence and dignity. Assessing women’s and girls’ needs and preferences at country level prior to a disaster assists Red Cross National Societies with preparedness planning and development of local menstrual hygiene management (MHM) kits for pre-positioning. This study, conducted in Vanuatu, examined the experiences, concerns, needs, and preferences of women and girls in managing menstruation in disasters. Participants trialled one of four different sanitary products included in a MHM kit. Absorbency, security of fit, and odour were the main determinants of product acceptability. Water supply and safe disposal options influenced the preference for either reusable or disposable products. Access to sanitary products, distribution processes, water supply, and privacy were key concerns. Detailed recommendations within this paper will support the Vanuatu Red Cross in decision making and programming for MHM in disaster preparedness and response.
在灾害环境中,妇女和女孩在自信和尊严地安全管理月经方面面临更多挑战。灾害发生前在国家一级评估妇女和女孩的需求和偏好,有助于各国红十字会制定备灾规划和开发当地经期卫生管理工具包,以供预先部署。这项在瓦努阿图进行的研究调查了灾害中妇女和女孩在经期管理方面的经验、关切、需求和偏好。参与者试用了MHM试剂盒中包含的四种不同卫生用品中的一种。吸收性,安全性和气味是产品可接受性的主要决定因素。供水和安全处置方案影响了对可重复使用或一次性产品的偏好。获得卫生产品、分配过程、供水和隐私是关键问题。本文件中的详细建议将支持瓦努阿图红十字会为MHM在备灾和救灾方面的决策和规划。

This paper describes the components of the Bishesta campaign: a behaviour change intervention for menstrual hygiene management (MHM), targeting young people with intellectual impairments, and their carers in Nepal. The campaign uses two fictitious characters: Bishesta (a young person with an intellectual impairment) and Perana (her carer), and consists of three group training modules. ‘Period packs’, designed to make MHM behaviours attractive and easy to adopt, are given to the young people. Packs include storage bags, a bin, and stories about Bishesta menstruating and learning to manage as independently as possible, with Perana’s support. Carers receive a calendar to track the young person’s menstrual cycle. A Bishesta doll, with removable clothes, underwear, and a miniature ‘period pack’ is used in training to demonstrate MHM. Evaluation findings show the intervention is feasible at small scale, so further research on how to scale up the intervention in an evidence-based way is required.
本文描述了Bishesta运动的组成部分:针对尼泊尔有智力障碍的年轻人及其护理人员的月经卫生管理行为改变干预。该活动使用了两个虚构的角色:Bishesta(一个有智力障碍的年轻人)和Perana(她的看护人),由三个小组培训模块组成“经期包”是为年轻人提供的,旨在使MHM行为具有吸引力并易于采用。包装包括储物袋、垃圾箱和关于比什塔月经的故事,以及在佩拉娜的支持下学会尽可能独立管理的故事。护理人员会收到一份日历,用来追踪年轻人的月经周期。训练中使用了一个比什塔娃娃,带着可拆卸的衣服、内衣和一个微型“经期包”来展示MHM。评估结果表明,这种干预在小规模上是可行的,因此需要进一步研究如何以循证的方式扩大干预规模。

As part of the UK Government-funded Ideas to Impact programme, the Sanitation Challenge for Ghana (SC4Gh) ran from 2015 to 2019 aiming to incentivize local authorities in Ghana to prioritize resources to improve municipal sanitation services towards the achievement of Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 6. The paper reviews the overall results of the SC4Gh and discusses selected results for the Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies (MMDAs) involved. The most notable outcome was that MMDAs involved were able to make significant improvements across the sanitation value chain with limited technical support and no upfront external donor funding. Another important outcome was the empowering aspect of the prize process which enabled MMDAs to innovate their plans based upon their own ideas to improve sanitation services. The prize process was an unprecedented opportunity for MMDAs throughout the country to participate in an international programme, resulting in encouraging results particularly from smaller, less well-resourced MMDAs in remote parts of Ghana who secured prizes in both stages of the Challenge.
作为英国政府资助的“影响理念”计划的一部分,加纳卫生挑战(SC4Gh)从2015年持续到2019年,旨在激励加纳地方当局优先考虑资源,以改善城市卫生服务,实现可持续发展目标6。本文回顾了SC4Gh的总体结果,并讨论了所涉及的大都会、市和区议会(MMDA)的选定结果。最值得注意的结果是,所涉及的MMDA能够在有限的技术支持和没有预先外部捐助者资助的情况下,在整个卫生价值链上做出重大改进。另一个重要成果是奖励过程的赋权方面,使MMDA能够根据自己的想法创新计划,以改善卫生服务。颁奖过程为全国各地的MMDA提供了一个前所未有的机会来参与一项国际计划,取得了令人鼓舞的结果,特别是来自加纳偏远地区规模较小、资源不足的MMDA,他们在挑战赛的两个阶段都获得了奖项。

Recontamination during transport and storage is a common challenge of water supply in low-income settings, especially if water is collected manually. Chlorination is a strategy to reduce recontamination. We assessed seven low-cost, non-electrically powered chlorination devices in gravity-driven membrane filtration (GDM) kiosks in eastern Uganda: one floater, two in-line dosers, three end-line dosers (tap-attached), and one manual dispenser. The evaluation criteria were dosing consistency, user-friendliness, ease of maintenance, local supply chain, and cost. Achieving an adequate chlorine dosage (∼2 mg/L at the tap and ≥ 0.2 mg/L after 24 h of storage in a container) was challenging. The T-chlorinator was the most promising option for GDM kiosks: it achieved correct dosage (CD, 1.5–2.5 mg/L) with a probability of 90 per cent, was easy to use and maintain, economical, and can be made from locally available materials. The other in-line option, the chlorine-dosing bucket (40 per cent CD) still needs design improvements. The end-line options AkvoTur (67 per cent CD) and AquatabsFlo® (57 per cent CD) are easy to install and operate at the tap, but can be easily damaged in the GDM set-up. The Venturi doser (52 per cent CD) did not perform satisfactorily with flow rates > 6 L/min. The chlorine dispenser (52 per cent CD) was robust and user-friendly, but can only be recommended if users comply with chlorinating the water themselves. Establishing a sustainable supply chain for chlorine products was challenging. Where solid chlorine tablets were locally rarely available, the costs of liquid chlorine options were high (27–162 per cent of the water price).
在低收入环境中,运输和储存过程中的净化是供水的一个常见挑战,尤其是在手动收集水的情况下。氯化是减少再污染的一种策略。我们评估了乌干达东部重力驱动膜过滤(GDM)亭中的七个低成本、非电动氯化设备:一个浮子、两个在线加药器、三个末端加药器(连接水龙头)和一个手动加药器。评估标准为给药一致性、用户友好性、易于维护、本地供应链和成本。实现足够的氯剂量(水龙头处为~2 mg/L,在容器中储存24小时后≥0.2 mg/L)是一项挑战。T-氯化器是GDM信息亭最有前途的选择:它达到了90%的正确剂量(CD,1.5–2.5 mg/L),易于使用和维护,经济实惠,并且可以由当地可用的材料制成。另一种直列式选择,氯加药桶(40%CD)仍需要改进设计。终端线选项AkvoTur(67%CD)和AquatabsFlo®(57%CD)易于在水龙头处安装和操作,但在GDM设置中很容易损坏。文丘里定量器(52%的CD)在流量>6 L/min时表现不佳。氯分配器(52%的CD)坚固耐用,用户友好,但只有在用户自己遵守水的氯化规定的情况下才能推荐使用。建立可持续的氯产品供应链具有挑战性。在当地很少能买到固体氯片的地方,液氯选择的成本很高(占水价的27-162%)。
