HANDWASHING STRATEGIC HEALTH COMMUNICATION PLAN

INFLUENCING HANDWASHING BEHAVIOURS AND SOCIAL NORMS FOR

CHILDREN AGED 6-12 IN THE SOLOMON ISLANDS

BACKGROUND

The Solomon Islands are an archipelago made up of around 992 islands with a total population of 515,870 (2009 census). Around 80% of the population lives in rural areas and 22.7% of people live below the national poverty line (World Bank, 2006). While progress has been made in many areas, the Solomon Islands are not on track to meet the majority of the Millennium Development Goals, a reflection of the complex and difficult environment for development (Pacific Islands Forum Secretariat, 2013).

Challenges related to water, sanitation and hygiene account for many of the development issues faced by children and communities in the Solomon Islands. When water, sanitation and hygiene are compromised, new born children are at risk, growth stunting is more prevalent, vaccines are less effective, child mortality rates are higher and children miss more school due to sickness.

Overall safe water supply coverage in the Solomon Islands is low at 66% (Demographic Health Survey, 2007). However, the government estimates that half of the systems included in this national coverage figure are operating at less than design capacity or totally inoperable. Sanitation coverage is estimated at 18%, and open defecation is prevalent (RWASH Policy, 2014). There is a distinct lack of data on hygiene practices in the country, although it is estimated that only 5-10% of people wash their hands at critical times (MHMS Descriptive Core Indicator Report, 2014).

Increasing sanitation and hygiene coverage is a Solomon Islands Government priority highlighted in the National Development Strategy (2011-2020) and supported by new policies adopted by the Ministry of Health and Medical Services (MHMS)1. In order to address this, the MHMS and key WASH stakeholders, with support from UNICEF, are collaborating on a joint strategic health communication (SHC) initiative in support of hygiene as a priority.

WASH behaviour in Solomon Islands

While work to improve water and sanitation infrastructure has progressed well, work to address the deeply-rooted community norms, behaviours and traditions surrounding sanitation and hygiene, including washing hands with soap and water have been less successful. Addressing harmful social norms requires strategic, sustained and targeted strategic health communication measures based on the best available evidence that have been formulated, tested and implemented in partnership with communities.

Development (EHD), with WASH promotion support from the Health Promotion Unit (HPU).

In 2014, Pacifika conducted a Knowledge, Attitudes and Practice (KAP) survey in 72 households from six peri-urban and rural communities in Guadalcanal Province, incorporating coastal, plain and highland geographical settings. Between November 2013 and March 2014, Live and Learn, in collaboration with UNICEF, also conducted a community perceptions survey in fifteen sites in Isabel, Choiseul and Makira provinces, including schools, clinics and communities.

Both these studies, found that knowledge on water, sanitation and hygiene is quite high. However, there is a big gap in attitude in relation to the cost-benefit of sanitation and hygiene measures, and a perception that water is more important than sanitation or hygiene (Live and Learn, 2014). An even greater gap exists in practice, with communities citing insufficient water as a barrier to practicing good sanitation and hygiene (Live and Learn, 2014).

However, according to a meeting of WASH stakeholders held in June 2015, previous research and related campaigns have often suffered from the following limitations:

• In-country consultations have failed to engage stakeholders (especially communities) at various levels and across sectors

• Campaigns have often tried to address too many issues and corresponding key messages, diluting focus and reducing impact

• Campaigns have often drawn on a didactic approach heavy on printed IEC materials which fails to address the underlying causes of behaviour.

In order to support effective and sustained behaviour change, this strategy, developed in consultation with government and WASH sector stakeholders, has been designed to address and reshape the social norms driving key harmful behaviours related to hygiene, taking into account the limitations of the past.

Handwashing promotion strategy

This strategy outlines a roadmap for SHC activities regarding handwashing with water and soap after using the toilet and before eating. There is a particular focus on children aged 6-12 years, both in and out of school, within 14 school catchment areas in Guadalcanal Province and Honiara, supporting sustainable change embedded from children’s earliest days.

The incidence of WASH-related diseases in Guadalcanal Province (GP) and Honiara (HCC) alone support the need for a more strategic focus for reduction in these targeted areas. In 2014, GP and HCC accounted for 35% of watery diarrhoea cases and 34% of bloody diarrhoea cases respectively (see Table above). Furthermore, the accessibility of these two provinces was key to piloting the campaign.

The strategy recognises and builds on existing behaviour change efforts in the Solomon Islands and prioritises the active involvement of children as agents of change in their communities. It focuses on: 1) redefining social norms around handwashing, and 2) improving accessibility to no/low-cost handwashing facilities.

This revised strategy incorporates the following principles:

• Strategic focus and agreement on a single issue (hand washing with water and soap2 after toilet and before eating3) to maximise impact including analysis of behavioural determinants and existing social norms, as well as misconceptions.

Please note: Where soap is mentioned throughout the strategy, this refers to soap and soap alternatives, including ash, sand, lime, and Akwa leaf.

• Strategic focus and agreement on one primary target audience (children aged 6-124) and relevant “influencers” that are essential for an enabling environment.

• Strengthened coordination through ongoing consultations/collaborative efforts amongst relevant WASH partners and stakeholders (government led with UNICEF support)

• Agreed piloting of innovative and engaging/effective approaches in Guadalcanal and Honiara provinces (norms based5).

• Monitoring and evaluation tools allow space for adaptation of strategy and campaign activities, as well as scale up of project scope as necessary.

2 RATIONALE: HANDWASHING WITH SOAP AND WATER: This issue was selected by WASH stakeholders, for several reasons: It has the lowest coverage in Solomon Islands compared with water or sanitation; There is strong evidence that handwashing with soap after contact with stools is one of the most important ways to prevent microbe infection in children (the other most important way is through safe stool disposal, which is already being addressed through the government’s Community-Led Total Sanitation programme); Washing hands with soap and water is something that be practiced easily, at low cost, regardless of age or sociodemographic background. 3 RATIONALE: AFTER TOILET AND BEFORE EATING: These key times for washing hands with soap and water were selected based on focus group discussions with students. These discussions showed that the practice of handwashing is already common place among children when hands are visibly dirty, such as after being in the fields and after eating. As a result, the focus of the campaign was to increase handwashing at times when dirt and faecal contamination are invisible, including after the toilet and before eating. 4 RATIONALE: CHILDREN AGED 6-12. This age group includes all students in grades 1 to grade 6. Anecdotal evidence suggests children under 6 years of age already had a significant amount of supervised handwashing through Early Childhood Education, which dropped off significantly once children moved to Primary School. In addition, the majority of children aged 6-12 are engaged in primary school making them an easy target group to capture, unlike older children who have lower enrolment rates in secondary school, and who are more likely to move away from home to pursue educational, training and working opportunities. 5 RATIONALE: FOCUS ON SOCIAL NORMS. Social norms are mostly unwritten rules of behaviour that govern what is considered

acceptable in a particular group or society. There are norms defining appropriate behaviour for every social group and most people experience significant social pressure to conform. As the individual moves from one group to another, their behaviour changes accordingly. In the context of WASH protective behaviours, this strategy aims to reframe social norms in a school setting/social group, as a precursor to wider shifts outside of the school environment. Reframing social norms requires a deep understanding of barriers and bottlenecks to change on specific issues, as well as strategic interventions at all levels to influence and support targeted groups.

THE STRATEGY

HEALTH GOAL: Reduction in the incidence of diarrhoea among children aged 6-12 years by 2017.6

BEHAVIOURAL OBJECTIVES:

1. Proportion of children aged 6-12 years in fourteen (14) selected school catchment areas (urban and rural communities)7 in Guadalcanal and Honiara Provinces consistently washing hands with soap and water after going to the toilet and before eating, by end of 2017.

2. Proportion of households and schools with handwashing facilities that have soap and water, by end of 2017.

Sub-Objectives

Attitudes: Hand washing after toilet and before eating becomes internalised as a desirable social norm.

Practice: Children aged 6-12 years have easy access to handwashing facilities with soap and water (within 5 metres of toilet, kitchen and/or classroom, as appropriate)

The overall intention of the strategy is to position hand washing as a valued behaviour and social norm, support increased adoption of health protective behaviours such as hand washing at key times, and support children to become agents of change in relation to WASH in schools and communities. Furthermore, it will build a foundation for future SHC initiatives on aligned themes.

SCOPE:

This project will be realised over 5 years with a 2-year initial pilot focusing on fourteen (14) school catchment areas in Guadalcanal and Honiara (urban/rural mix) with scale up over the remaining 3 years. This is in line with the Solomon Islands National RWASH Strategy’s focus for 2015 – 2020.

TARGET AUDIENCE:

All children between 6 to 12 years of age, including children in school and children out of school, within 14 school catchment areas.

CREATING AN ENABLING ENVIRONMENT / INFLUENCERS

In order to effectively target and engage with children aged 6-12, this strategy will also engage and equip the following ‘influencers’ to act as agents of change. These ‘influencers’ were selected based on WASH Stakeholder feedback, as well as focus group discussions with primary school students.

1. Mothers and Fathers (community definition) 2. Peers 3. Teachers 4. Community leaders (Traditional and Religious leaders) 5. Grandparents 6. Popular culture/media/celebrities

6 It is recognised that this campaign can only contribute to rates of diarrhoea, and that rates of diarrhoea will also be affected by other health promotion programmes and changing environmental conditions, such as natural disasters. 7 School Catchment areas are considered all communities within 1 or 2km radius of target school. See Appendix 2 for details.

PARTNERS:

Successful implementation of a holistic norms-based approach will require the combined efforts of multiple partners, including:

• Ministry of Health and Medical Services – RWASH Unit (GP and HCC)

• Ministry of Health and Medical Services - Health Promotion Unit (GP and HCC)

• UNICEF

• Ministry of Education and Human Resource Development

• Education Authorities (GP, HCC, Catholic Diocese, Church of Melanesia, South Seas Evangelical Church)

• Ministry of Women, Youth, Children and Family Affairs

• Live and Learn

• Save the Children

• Solomon Island Red Cross

• Caritas Solomon Islands

• World Vision Solomon Islands

• Rural Development Program

• French Red Cross

• Targeted schools

• Community leaders

• Children and communities

• Targeted celebrities and performing artists

PROPOSED APPROACH:

1. Component A (late 2015 – late 2017). Develop and implement a detailed SHC micro-plan for the proposed campaign (with central ‘brand’ applicable across all partner efforts) focused on reframing social norms around hand washing and increasing access to handwashing facilities with water and soap for children aged 6-12 years in targeted fourteen (14) school catchment areas of Guadalcanal and Honiara in the initial phase (year 1-2).

2. Component B (2017 onwards). Evaluate and draw on lessons learned from Component A and scale up to other regions and issues as appropriate.

MANAGEMENT AND COORDINATION

Overall coordination will be through RWASH, with support from the Research and Training Unit, Health Promotion Department, and UNICEF.

Production of IEC materials (design, pre-testing, printing) will be through UNICEF and the Health Promotion Department.

Implementation of activities, and the distribution of IEC materials will be managed through Education Authorities, provincial government departments (Environmental Health, Health Promotion, Women’s Desk), NGOs, and Faith-based organisations (eg. Mother’s Union).

Monitoring and evaluation will be managed by a variety of WASH stakeholders (see M&E Plan).

ANNEXES

ANNEX 1: PROPOSED CAMPAIGN BRAND: “DIRTY HANDS? YUCK!”

Target Audience: School-aged children between 6 to 12 years of age (in and out of school)

Campaign approach: The campaign slogan “Dirty Hands? Yuck!” aims to reframe norms around hand washing, positioning it as a desirable behaviour. The slogan is what a peer, teacher, coach, religious leader or parent might say to a child who has failed to wash their hands, indicating social disapproval. This approach draws on the lessons learned from the Community-Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) approach, which uses ‘disgust’ as a powerful motivator for change. The slogan is intended to be used in a light-hearted way but nonetheless conveys social disapproval for failure to wash ones hands.

The slogan is applicable to all ages within the target group but will be communicated through different age and situation-appropriate means as outlined below.

SAMPLE PROPOSED ACTIVITIES BY TARGET GROUP

A. Group 1 & 2 [Blue and Dark Orange] – Children 6-12 years in school & Children 6-12 out of school

i. Interactive activity books (series), such as storybooks and colouring books, suitable for inclusion in school curricula and informal / faith-based classes:

Topics could include: Meet Betsy; Meet Bubbles and Bobby; Learning about hand washing (when to wash hands/key times); Making hand washing fun!; Pass the soap! Not the germs!; etc

ii. Stickers and Badges

iii. Radio jingles and songs

iv. Skits/Drama Groups/Mobile Theatres for school and/or community outreach activities

v. Just Play Football/Soccer Festivals

vi. International/Global Day events/celebrations

NB: Existing “Makem Laef Helti” multi-media package will be used with a focus targeted towards adult influencers. Suggest message dissemination through media, NGOs and FBOs.

B. Group 1 [Blue] – Children 6-12 yrs in school

i. Supporting roll out of existing Health Promotion Lessons in new school curriculum

ANNEX 4: MONITORING AND EVALUATION PLAN Sampling Methodology For student and household surveys, sample size was calculated based on total primary school enrolment (2015), and total community population (taken from census, 2009). It was decided that the sample size would be determined using a confidence level of 95% and a margin of error of 10%. While a margin of error of 5% is preferred, this created sample sizes that were considered to be too big to be manageable for our small team. As a result, the margin of error of 10% was chosen. Stratified sampling, using proportional allocation (where the sample is distributed according to the size of the school / community), was the sampling mechanism chosen. This method is useful when the population is small and non-homogeneous. Each school catchment area was considered one stratum, to ensure that every person in the target area would fall into one stratum, but not be in more than one stratum, thereby ensuring equal chance of being selected. Random sampling will be applied to each stratum. For teacher surveys, it was decided to do a simple survey of the head teacher at each school within the target area, plus one additional teacher per school, randomly selected. The final sample sizes are:
