Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) Capacity Statement
Our presence in Somalia since 1993 has enabled us to establish and maintain strong relationships with key stakeholders in the WASH sector. This includes the Ministry of Energy and Water Resources (MoEWR), a crucial partner, as well as other line ministries at federal, regional and state levels, the private sector, local partners, the Somalia WASH Cluster, UN agencies, and community actors. We have worked collaboratively to expand access to quality water, sanitation and hygiene services.

WASH Behaviour Change Capacity Statement
Changing the behaviour of individuals, groups, and organisations is critical to maximising human flourishing. Behaviour change cuts across all technical approaches and critical contexts within water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) programming. In addition to changing the behaviour of individuals, transforming social norms and reducing stigma in communities around topics like gender and disability are also key to realising WASH and other development outcomes.
Read this capacity statement for information about World Vision's experience, distinctives and approaches for behaviour change in WASH.

Behaviour Change: Evidence Summary for Safe Infant and Child Faeces Disposal
A review of 25 countries conducted in 2016 found that more than 50% of households in low- and middle-income countries practiced unsafe child feces disposal (UCFD), including as many as 84% of households in India. Although this often is connected to whether a household has an improved sanitation facility on the premises, the study found that even in households with latrines, as many as 64% practiced UCFD. Exposure to child faeces presents many of the same health hazards as open defecation, such as diarrhoeal diseases, environmental enteropathy, and impaired growth and development. Infants in low- and middle-income countries are particularly vulnerable to faecal pathogen contamination in the domestic environment due to mouthing behaviors during the exploratory stage of development. This brief summarises approaches and evidence for interventions targeting safe child faeces disposal.
