Central to this project is the integration of health <strong>and</strong> hygiene into watersupply <strong>and</strong> sanitation for rural communities. The majority of these communities have noexisting protected water supplies <strong>and</strong> all are without adequate means of sanitation. ‘Freerange’, or open defecation is the sanitation practice throughout. The project conducted aKABP baseline, which entailed a number of tools - many participatory, drawing from thePLA approach combined with observation <strong>and</strong> a brief questionnaire. A gender lens wasincorporated throughout, although (in retrospect) more specific inclusion of children couldhave been made. Information from this baseline was used to:• identify key risk <strong>and</strong> safe practices,• identify challenges / barriers to engaging in safe practices,• identify the interest in <strong>and</strong> willingness to pay for facilities,<strong>IRC</strong> <strong>International</strong> <strong>Water</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Sanitation</strong> <strong>Centre</strong> 33
