The situation in these areas has been influenced by a variety of challenges and developments over recent years. WASH: The importance of WASH has been underscored due to its direct impact on community health, particularly in preventing stunting in children caused by inadequate sanitation and clean drinking water. Efforts to promote positive WASH practices have been significant, focusing on both behavior change and infrastructure development, like the construction of handwashing facilities and basic toilets at the household level. Training of government officials and teachers on WASH issues and practices has been a key strategy to ensure sustainability and effectiveness in service delivery.
