Community Engagement in Sanitation: A Landscape Review (2018)

In 2017, Elrha’s Humanitarian Innovation Fund (HIF) launched a Challenge ‘to understand how to design, implement, and evaluate approaches to user-centred sanitation that incorporate rapid community engagement and are appropriate for the first stage of rapid-onset emergencies’ (defined as the first twelve weeks post crisis).

A component of this Challenge involved undertaking a landscape review of existing community engagement practice and approaches that could be used to provide a background resource for Challenge participants.

The review was carried out by Oxfam, the HIF’s Research and Evaluation Partner for the project. It draws on published and grey literature and interviews with 15 key informants.
