The WASHplus integrated WASH/nutrition initiative in Mali targets 187,000 women of reproductive age and approximately 60,000 of their children, aged 0–59 months in three districts with high rates of stunting in the Mopti Region. One of the project’s objectives is to increase demand for low-cost sanitation among rural households and communities. WASHplus employs the community-led total sanitation (CLTS) approach to ignite villages to collectively abandon open defecation and empowers household investment in environmentally appropriate low cost latrine models.

WASHplus presented the poster and study findings (from “Marketing and Behavior Change Strategy for Improved Cookstoves in Bangladesh,” conducted with iDE and the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves) during a technical session of the Second Annual Improved Cookstove Market Facilitation Platform: Accelerating the Pace of Market Development organized by the USAID Implementing Partner Catalyzing Clean Energy for Bangladesh in September 2014.
