Water, Sanitation & Hygiene (WASH)
At Research Wise, we recognize the critical importance of safe water, adequate sanitation, and hygiene practices for community health, dignity, and development. We partner with governments, NGOs, and development agencies to develop evidence-based solutions that ensure equitable, sustainable access to WASH services, particularly in vulnerable and marginalized communities.
What We Offer:
WASH Program Evaluation
We evaluate water, sanitation, and hygiene programs to determine their impact on health outcomes, community well-being, and sustainability. Our evaluations use rigorous methodologies, including surveys, community audits, and participatory approaches, to provide actionable insights for improving program effectiveness.

Behaviour Change Research & Interventions
Understanding that WASH practices heavily depend on behaviour, we research and design behaviour change interventions that promote hygiene practices such as handwashing, proper sanitation use, and safe water storage. Our culturally sensitive strategies ensure lasting behavioural change and community ownership.

Water Security & Management Assessments
We conduct comprehensive assessments of water resources, management systems, and infrastructure to identify gaps, inefficiencies, and opportunities for improvement. Our work informs sustainable water management practices, ensuring reliable and equitable water access for all community members.

Sanitation Infrastructure & Policy Advisory
We support the design and evaluation of sanitation infrastructure projects and policies, including waste management systems, latrine construction, and urban sanitation planning. Our expertise ensures interventions are technically sound, environmentally sustainable, and socially acceptable.

Emergency WASH Response & Preparedness
We assist organizations in developing emergency response strategies for WASH interventions during natural disasters or humanitarian crises. Our solutions ensure rapid, effective delivery of clean water, sanitation, and hygiene services to affected populations, reducing disease outbreaks and promoting recovery.

Our Unique Approach:
At Research Wise, we emphasize a community-centred approach, engaging local stakeholders in every stage of our work. By combining technical expertise with deep community insights, we ensure that our WASH interventions are not only effective but also culturally appropriate, sustainable, and responsive to local needs.
Example Projects:
Impact Evaluation of Rural Sanitation Programs: Assessed sanitation projects across several states, providing insights that improved latrine usage rates, reducing open defecation and associated diseases.
Behavior Change Campaign in Urban Slums: Designed and evaluated hygiene promotion campaigns in urban slum areas, resulting in significant increases in handwashing practices and improved community health.
Water Management Study in Drought-Prone Regions: Conducted assessments on water resource management practices, leading to the implementation of community-led water conservation strategies that improved water security.
