Abstract

Between November 2018 and February 2019, qualitative data collection was conducted in 7 rural villages situated in the provinces of Kampung Speu and Kampung Cham in Cambodia. These villages are located approximately two to three hours away from Phnom Penh, the political and economic hub of Cambodia. The focus of this study was on these villages due to their involvement in the Cambodia Rural Sanitation and Hygiene Improvement Programme (CRSHIP), which was implemented by the Ministry of Rural Development and Plan International Cambodia from 2012 to 2016. The CRSHIP aimed to enhance access to improved sanitation facilities and promote proper hygiene practices among rural communities through various approaches such as Community-Led Total Sanitation (CLTS), sanitation marketing, WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) in schools, and behavior change communication campaigns.
