RWSSP-WN BRIEFS 2018
The RWSSP-WN Briefs provide synopsis of various studies, field notes and data that may or may not have been published in other reports and studies related to the project.
RWSSP-WN BRIEF 1-2018
January 3, 2018
RWSSP-WN Brief 1-2018 presents the findings from the formative research conducted in Kapilvastu district in Nepal in September 2017. Kapilvastu is one of the last three RWSSP-WN working districts yet to be declared Open Defecation Free (ODF). The aim is to sharpen our approach into Behaviour Change Communications (BCC) related to sanitation in ODF declared areas where there are concerns that the toilets are not fully completed and/or not used.

As a continuum of the Millennium Development Goals, the Member States of the United Nations have set the new Agenda 2030 for Sustainable Development. The Agenda 2030 consists of 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) under which 169 targets address social, economic and environmental development. As part of the Joint Monitoring Programme, WHO and UNICEF have defined service level ladder indicators to help in analyzing the SDG 6 Clean Water and Sanitation. RWSSP-WN Brief 4-2018 reflects the work of RWSSP-WN II in fulfilling the goals of the Agenda 2030 and analyzes the Project results against the JMP criteria.

RWSSP-WN BRIEF 9-2018
June 19, 2018
This research Brief was prepared during the Nepal National Sanitation Week 2018, and concludes the series of other briefs that were launched on occasion of the International Menstruation Day 2018 (above). This is to draw attention that having toilets alone is not enough - to get the full benefit in the community, all must also use their toilets, at all times! In this sample of 932 households, all do have toilets but are they used? At all times? By all?
RWSSP-WN BRIEF 10-2018

Already 39 % of RWSSP-WN II drinking water supply beneficiaries are served by lift schemes. This brief studies the technical aspects and functionality of lift drinking water supply schemes implemented by the Project.

RWSSP-WN BRIEF 11-2018
August 15, 2018
RWSSP-WN II is committed to serve the unserved which means that the Project supports people that do not yet have access to improved water supply. Most Terai inhabitants do already have an access to shallow tube wells but these are usually considered unimproved due to the risk of bacteriological and arsenic contamination.
This Brief presents findings of recent studies considering various functionality aspects of tube well schemes. The study findings question some of the general assumptions that have guided tube well construction in the Project.
