PPP to Promote Handwashing with Soap Brainstorming Workshop
May 7, 2001, World Bank, Washington, DC

The May 7th PPP Handwashing team's brainstorming session involved more than 20 participants, all involved in some aspect of the handwashing initiative, including representatives from the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine, the Governments of Kerala and Ghana, the Water and Sanitation Program (WSP), the Environmental Health Project (EHP), BASICS, UNICEF, the World Bank and a few private sector representatives. The meeting proceeded in two main areas:

  1. Reviewing the initiative to date: The team outlined the detailed work needed in Ghana and Kerala to get the initiative off the ground including a detailed review and discussion of action plans and methodology for conducting: (a) formative research study on consumer behaviour, (b) a study of the market structure (i.e. the supply side) and (c) reviewing existing experiences in hygiene/handwashing promotion. This lead into discussions on developing options for PPP arrangements, drawing heavily on the BASICS Central America experience, the input from the private sector representatives, as well as additional research.

  2. How to "go global": The team brainstormed on how and when to bring in the large private multi-nationals, without excluding the local private sector, how to roll this out to other countries and the contributions of the key partners over the next 18 months.
