From WSSCC:

‘Sanitation and hygiene behaviour change at scale: Understanding slippage’ is a new reflection paper published by WSSCC’s Global Sanitation Fund. Slippage is a phenomenon that refers to a community’s return to previous unhygienic behaviours, or the inability of some or all community members to continue to meet all ODF criteria. The paper explores how to discern slippage nuances and patterns, strategies to address, pre-empt and mitigate it, as well as alternative monitoring systems that capture the complexity of slippage more fully. Download the paper in English or French or read the article on wsscc.org.
