Water for Women (2022) Shifting Social Norms for Transformative WASH: Review of Concepts, Literature and Practice

This review, along with the allied guidance, is intended to support WASH actors with relevant examples of how to change harmful and exclusionary social norms in the context of WASH programming. WASH organisations are those that wholly or mostly work on WASH, in forms including advocacy, infrastructure, governance, finance, capacity development and behaviour change. This review is intended for those who would like to take a ‘deeper dive’ into understanding norms - program planners and management staff, technical advisors, monitoring, evaluation and learning (MEL) staff, many of whom are already integrating GEDSI into their programming and are looking for the most effective approaches to achieve and sustain long-term change.
