Nepal safe drinking water

SNV, with the technical support of Upward Spiral, has been applying the Behaviour Centred Design framework in developing and implementing a behaviour change communication campaign. As a first step, the research team analysed the current situation of water quality and household water treatment practices, defined the goals for the behaviour change campaign, identified knowledge gaps for designing the campaign, and used these to structure research questions. During the second step the team used these questions as the basis for conducting formative research. This report presents the findings of the research.

This research study and the subsequent behavioural change campaigns and monitoring initiatives that follow represent SNV's ongoing commitment to scaling up safe and climate-resilient drinking water services for all. Methodologically, the study engages in a hub approach, working with others to accelerate the pace of change and facilitate cross-learning and exchange.
