Water, Sanitation and Hygiene: A Socio-Cultural Survey of Communities on Guadalcanal and Savo, Solomon Islands

This study was commissioned by French Red Cross and Solomon Islands Red Cross and funded by USAID/OFDA to better understand the communities they are working in, specifically how to improve participation in the FRC/SIRC program by people in these communities and foster their sense of ownership. The study covers a range of issues relating more generally to WASH activities and rural community development in Solomon Islands.
