Empirical Study of Urban WASH Impacts: Research on the Relationship of Population Density and Neighborhood-Level Sanitation Access to Fecal-Associated Health Impacts

RFA#:WASH2013-001 

• Status:Posted:March 18, 2013
• Questions Due:Monday, April 1, 2013, 5:00pm (EST)
• Applications Due: Monday, April 29, 2013, 5:00pm (EST)

The purpose of this Request for Applications (RFA) is to fund research that will more fully characterize the relative health impact (i.e., diarrheal diseases, STH infections, and anthropometric measures in children) of sanitation coverage in areas marked by high population densities compared to those with lower population densities.

The TRAction Project anticipates making one award not to exceed 2,000,000 USD to achieve the purpose of this RFA.

Results of this research will be shared with national decision-makers, program implementers, researchers, and other stakeholders to promote learning and inform the targeting of sanitation interventions.

• Applications Due:Monday, April 29, 2013, 5:00pm (EST)

The purpose of this Request for Applications (RFA) is to fund research involving the secondary analysis of data that will more fully characterize the relative health impact (i.e., diarrheal diseases, STH infections, and anthropometric measures in children) of sanitation coverage in areas marked by high population densities compared to those with lower population densities.

The TRAction Project anticipates making one or more awards of approximately 50,000-100,000 USD each to achieve the purpose of this RFA.

Results of this research will be shared with national decision-makers, program implementers, researchers, and other stakeholders to promote learning and inform the targeting of sanitation interventions.

Ethiopia: Researchers to Tighten Gap in Water, Sanitation Policies

Adama — Researches and intensive discussions help to tighten the gap between policy issues of the Water and Sanitation Sector (WSS), said the Research, Development and Coordination Department of the Ministry of Water Resource.

At the consultative forum held on Friday under the theme of “Financing WASH” in Adama, Abity Getaneh, Department’s Irrigation and Drainage Research Coordinator in the Ministry, said Ethiopia has a huge benefit to earn from both researchers and practitioners of the WSS. “A host of institutions across the country are now deeply involved in providing teaching, research, and practical inputs to learning process in the sector” he said.

Abity on the one day consultative meeting added that a number of active networks and forum are improving sector coordination and enhancing the overall understanding of the challenges in the implementation of sustainable water and sanitation services.

The purpose of the Forum for Learning on Water and Sanitation (FLoWS) is providing an umbrella under which learning across networks forum can be shared more effectively and specifically as well as fostering sector understanding of the multi-stakeholder forum point. This will strengthen the capacity for the Ethiopian WSS sector to link learning and research to key policy processes across the year and support delivery of Multi-Stake holders Forum (MSF) undertakings.
