| Resumo: | Provision of potable water and sanitation facilities for the vast majority of the
poverty-stricken people of developing countries remains a formidable challenge for sustainable
development To accomplish this task, policy makers agree that water and sanitation should be a
task of the people with government participation rather than being a task of the government with
people's participation. The health benefits resulting from improved sanitation and water supplies
will be limited if behaviour modification does not occur simultaneously. NGOs can play a
significant role in this :field. BRAC's EHC integrates preventive health inputs with RDP's
mainstream activities in a comprehensive package. We tried to see how these activities translate
into desirable health behaviour among beneficiary households by comparing them with households
of a similar socioeconomic status but not receiving these inputs. |
