Summary: |
SanDem is a behaviour change intervention targeting landlords to create demand for improved sanitation in peri-urban settlements in Lusaka. This study is the first to show that a purely behavioural intervention, independent of institutional reform or financial incentives, can improve the quality of shared toilets in peri-urban areas. Outcome mapping was used for the research into use/research uptake component of the project. |
Why was OM chosen? |
Outcome mapping was chosen to plan, measure and deliver research into use activities to ensure maximum engagement with key stakeholders - and increase the likelihood that research findings would be taken up. |
What was the experience of using OM? |
CIDRZ have been able to engage and reach new stakeholders, working in partnership to improve urban sanitation. For example after presenting to UK politicians and DFID staff during a country visit, CIDRZ were funded by DFID Zambia to use the behaviour change techniques trialled in the SanDem project to design and deliver a disruptive behaviour change intervention to prevent cholera in urban Lusaka. |
