A household water treatment implementation framework:lessons learned from the diversity of implementation worldwide

摘要

Household water treatment (HWT), the use of simple accessible technologies for treating water within thernhome, is gaining momentum globally. As estimates of worldwide users top 1.1 billion and efforts focus onrnscaling up existing HWT programs, there is a need to document lessons learned from HWTrnimplementation to date and disseminate them among new and existing implementers.CAWST’s review ofrncurrent implementation practices coupled with years of experience working with implementers worldwidernhas demonstrated that while no one standard model exists, successful program implementation sharesrncommon factors. These factors have been developed into an implementation guidance framework,rnfocused on five key areas; creating demand, ensuring supply, monitoring and improving implementation,rnbuilding human capacity, and sustained financing.
