Behaviour Change: Evidence Summary for Menstrual Hygiene Management
Menstrual health affects an estimated 1.9 billion women and girls ages 15 to 49, although others outside this group are also directly or indirectly affected. However, menstruation is often a taboo topic that is insufficiently prioritised, leading to a lack of education, inadequate infrastructure, improper management of hygiene materials, and an overall stigma surrounding it. There are many important elements to consider for menstrual hygiene interventions, including access to proper facilities, access to menstrual products, social norms about menstruation, and knowledge about how to manage menstrual appropriately. This brief summarises behaviour change approaches and considerations for effective menstrual hygiene management.

Market-Based Sanitation and Hygiene
Standard Community-Led Total Sanitation implementation (alone or with limited Sanitation Marketing) and standard hygiene promotion are currently not sufficient. To accelerate our progress and close the sanitation and hygiene gap, World Vision is partnering with iDE in four countries (Burundi, Ghana, Mozambique and Zambia) to leverage our broad geographic footprint and deepen community connections alongside iDE’s expertise in human-centred design and market-based sanitation. With a strong evidence base, the right product and service mix, and a deep understanding of local markets, this iDE and World Vision partnership will enable us to achieve sustainable gains in coverage and attract much-needed investment in the sector to accelerate universal access to WASH services.
