Supporting the Fight Against Preventable Diseases by Integrating Social Determinants of Health

JSIPL has successfully integrated WASH interventions with primary health care services to improve health of vulnerable sub-population. Integrating hygiene promotion with new vaccine roll-outs like rotavirus and pneumococcal vaccines is helping position WASH as an essential intervention in the overall health landscape and in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

The Approach

1

Partnering with governments, communities, and grassroots organizations to bring policy-level change.

2

Raising the bar on sanitation and nutrition post the COVID-19 pandemic.

3

Striving for innovation, using technology and state-of-the-art tools for behavior change.

4

Creating awareness of WASH and its intersection with other disease management programs.

Recording Impact

1

Partnering with the government to improve access to clean and safe drinking water in project settings by adopting good sanitation and hygiene practices.

2

Understanding linkages between clean water and reduced viral and bacterial diseases such as typhoid, cholera, and rotavirus, as well as childhood stunting.

3

Promoting handwashing as part of WASH-related interventions post COVID-19.

4

Investing in improving the nutritional status of 10–19-year-old adolescent girls and boys through evidence-based and globally accepted interventions.

The Adolescent Nutrition, Sanitation & Health (ANSH) Project

The Adolescent Nutrition, Sanitation & Health (ANSH) Project’s end goals were well aligned with the government’s Poshan Abhiyan objectives that focused on reaching services to adolescents in Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Assam, and Madhya Pradesh through the implementation period of 2018 to 2020. WASH was an integral part of this project.
