WATER AND SANITATION PROGRAM: LEARNING NOTE Expanding Reach into Sanitation Market through Behavior Change Communications Lessons from Rural Cambodia September 2015 Key findings • Expanding latrine sales requires understanding consumer motivations for change. For rural Cambodians, the desire for status, fear of “losing face” and convenience were key reasons to invest in a latrine. • Integrating a referral mechanism within the behavior change communications (BCC) sessions provides interested households with just-in-time product information and links to local businesses offering sanitation services. • Engaging members of the Commune Committee for Women and Children 2 as frontline workers provides an additional channel to reach households that may otherwise not have been reached by the private sector sales activities. • Findings from an evaluation suggest that an increase in latrine uptake and improved sanitation coverage after additional BCC interventions may have occurred, although the results were not statistically significant. • Time series data from 2012 and 2013 show an increase in latrine sales around the time of the BCC intervention suggesting that the intervention may have triggered sales that otherwise would not have happened. INTRODUCTION In Cambodia, only one in three people has access to improved sanitation facilities, reflecting one of the lowest sanitation coverage rates of any country in the Southeast Asian and Pacific region. 1 To accelerate access to rural sanitation, the Water and Sanitation Program (WSP) of the World Bank’s Water Global Practice has supported Cambodia’s Ministry of Rural Development (MRD) in its efforts to introduce and test innovative sanitation marketing initiatives.

Communication objectives and messages: Based onanalysisoftheresearchfindings,knowledgeandsocial/phys-icaldrivers—inparticularconvenience—werechosenasthekey behavioral determinants to address in the campaign,translatingintothefollowingcommunicationobjectives:

• Provideknowledgeofthetruepriceoflow-costlatrineoptions(knowledge)

• Highlight the shameand loss of face associatedwithnothavingatoilet(socialdriver)

• Stress the inconvenienceofhaving todefecate in theopen(physicaldriver)

Thecampaign’scalltoactionof“BuyorBuildaToilet”includ-edtwokeymessages:

• “Havingalatrinehelpsyousaveface”• “Life without a latrine is full of inconvenience andshame”

Channels and activities: While behavior change com-munications campaigns can deploy a suite of instruments,inter-personal communication (IPC) was chosen as thesole channel for reaching households formultiple reasons:1) results from the initial pilot revealed limited audiencerecall of messages delivered via mass-media channels;

training and monitoring: Tools developed included a fa-cilitator guide and training curriculum, a banner, puzzles,fansandposters, forusebyCCWCs(orother facilitatorsofIPC sessions in the community). Training focused on bothtechnicalandattitudinalaspectsofconductingIPCactivities.During implementation,CCWCswere shadowed byDistrictCommitteeforWomenandChildrenforanaverageoffiveses-sions andwereprovidedwith feedbackon their applicationofIPCmethodsandtools,usingachecklistthatwouldscoretheir“mind-set”,“skill-set”anduseofthe“tool-set”.Reflectionworkshopswereheldaftereachphase todiscussareas forimprovement,andmaterialswereadjustedaccordingly.

Engagement of local government: A challenge for localgovernmentduring thisprocesswas toallocate funds fromtheirlocalbudgettoimplementtheBCCactivities.Toaddressthis,anumberofworkshopswereheldwithdistrictandcom-muneofficialstoi)supporttheprioritizationofcommune-levelBCCactivities,andii)helpthemdevelopanadequateworkplanandbudget.Furthersupportwasprovidedtoboththedistrictandcommunestomonitorprogressofperformance.Withinthecontextofthegovernment’splanneddecentraliza-tionofruralsanitationfunctionstodistrictlevel,theseactivitieshavebeeninstrumentaltodemonstratehowcommunes-levelactorscantakeonamandateforsanitationservicedelivery.

Evaluation: In 2013, an evaluation of the BCC activitieswas conducted. The study compared communes inwhichonly sales activities took place—so called “nonBCCcom-munes”—with those in which sales activities were imple-mentedandcombinedwithBCCactivities—socalled“BCCcommunes”—tounderstand,primarily,theeffectivenessofanaddedBCCcomponentonlatrineuptake.12

• addressing affordability requires more than commu-nication: Accordingtoa2010NationalSanitationandHy-gieneKnowledge,Attitudes,andPracticesSurvey,53%ofCambodianhouseholdsbelieved,mistakenly,thatitwouldcost US$100 or more to build an acceptable latrine fortheir family.Thismisperceptionwasconfirmedby the ru-ralconsumersanitationadoptionstudy.13Toaddress thisknowledgegap,BCCactivities focusedon revealing thattheactualpriceofapour-flushlatrinebuiltwithalow-costsheltercouldbeas littleashalfof theperceivedprice. Italso positioned this price level “as achievable”, in com-parisonwithotheraspirationalconsumergoods,suchasmotorbikesandTVsets.Addressingaffordability,however,
