(Location: IWMI HQ Record No: H041254)
Vietnamese farmers’ health-risk awareness, knowledge, and practices related to their use of wastewater and human excreta was investigated in an anthropological study by a multidisciplinary team in peri-urban Hanoi and Nghe An Province. Farmers identified health risks associated with their use of excreta and wastewater, but they viewed these as unavoidable risks related to production. They perceived the health risks as different for the use of wastewater and human feces. They perceived health risks from wastewater as non-serious because it remained on the skin and only caused skin problems, but they considered health risks from non-composted smelly feces serious because it entered the body through ‘polluted’ air. Most farmers were more aware of threats to health from ‘dirt’ entering the domestic environment than of the health risks during their work. The concept of ‘dirt’ should be separated from understanding of germs, viruses, and parasites so that it is understood that things that carrying health risks cannot always be identified by their ‘dirtiness’ or smell. Farmers mainly considered hygiene and health as women’s issues. Men’s responsibility for the health and hygiene of the family should therefore be emphasized.

Multi-stakeholder processes (MSPs) and platforms are being used to address various aspects of water management. They have been championed as a way to improve planning and coordination to involve marginalized groups, and to increase learning and uptake of innovations. Between 2005 and 2008, a project called ‘WASPA Asia’ established multi-stakeholder platforms in two cities, Kurunegala in Sri Lanka and Rajshahi in Bangladesh, to address wastewater use in agriculture and its impact on farmers’ livelihoods. This paper presents findings on the benefits and constraints of a particular MSP around a ‘Learning Alliance’. It also describes and analyzes the methodology used to obtain findings and suggests ways in which such a methodology could be used to improve results of MSPs. The paper indicates that the obvious merit of MSPs is in providing spaces for information sharing and awareness-raising. In time, MSPs can evolve to bring about changes in stakeholders’ attitudes and actions but in many cases they are established around short-term projects, which limits their potential for (institutional) change. Given this constraint, attitudinal change and a better understanding of the issues amongst stakeholders are major accomplishments. Analysis of the methodology used for the review shows the benefits of regular joint monitoring, open communication, and the usefulness of relatively simple tools such as ‘change stories’.

How much disease could be prevented through increased access to safe water and adequate sanitation, through improved water management and through better hygiene? What do we know about effective interventions, their costs and benefits in specific settings, or about financing policies and mechanisms? This report presents an overview of our current knowledge on the health impacts by country and by disease, of what has worked to reduce that burden, and of the financial requirements. Almost one tenth of the global disease burden, mainly in the developing countries, could be prevented by water, sanitation and hygiene interventions. Moreover, effective and affordable interventions have been shown to further reduce this burden significantly. The economic return of investing in improved access to safe drinkingwater is almost 10-fold. Investing in water management will have dual benefits for health and agriculture. This overview provides arguments for fully integrating water, sanitation and hygiene in countries’ disease reduction strategies - a prerequisite to achieving the Millennium Development Goals. It provides the basis for action by the health sector and those sectors managing critical water resources and services. Resulting benefits will include poverty alleviation, improved quality of life and reduction of costs to the health-care system.

In preparing this report, the Task Force on Water and Sanitation had a dual role. It focused on how to identify and communicate the strategies and actions needed to accomplish Millennium Development target 10 to cut in half, by 2015, the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation; it also examined the requirements for water resources management and development posed by all of the Millennium Development Goals. For water supply and sanitation, it was responsible for identifying priority areas for action, developing strategies, proposing effective institutional arrangements for addressing these areas, and exploring both financial requirements and possible new sources of funding. For water resources management and development, its principal objective was to identify and communicate the water-related actions and strategies required to help achieve the Goals as a whole.
