The secondary objectives of the study were to develop proxy indicators for routine monitoring of the health impact of water and sanitation projects. A proxy is an easy-to-measure indicator for a hard to- measure impact. Here the goal is to identify the intermediate outcomes (for example coverage of toilets and taps) that are causally linked to the policy or intervention and to the outcome. The success of the analysis in establishing such links will determine the salience of the proxy indicators. Finally, World Bank also evaluate the broader impacts of water, sanitation, and hygiene interventions on rural livelihoods, such as savings in time, materials, and money invested in coping activities; improvements in convenience and privacy; and indirect benefits to caregivers (for example gains in work efficiency, and time and work reallocation within the household).en-USCC BY 3.0 IGOACCESS TO SAFE WATERACCESS TO SANITATION FACILITIESADEQUATE WATERADEQUATE WATER SUPPLYBASIC SANITATIONBEHAVIOR CHANGEBEHAVIORAL CHANGESCHILD HEALTHCHILD MORTALITYCLIMATE CHANGECLINICSCOMMUNITIESCOMMUNITY ACTIVITIESCOMMUNITY LEADERSCOMMUNITY NORMSCOMMUNITY PARTICIPATIONCOMMUNITY SERVICESCOMMUNITY WATERCOMMUNITY WATER SUPPLIESCONSTRUCTION OF LATRINESCOST SAVINGSDECISION MAKINGDELIVERY OF WATER SUPPLYDESCRIPTIONDIARRHEADIARRHEAL DISEASESDRINKING WATERDRINKING WATER QUALITYDRINKING WATER SUPPLYECONOMIC DEVELOPMENTENVIRONMENTAL HEALTHENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTIONENVIRONMENTAL SANITATIONEPIDEMIOLOGYFAMILY HEALTHGENDERGOOD SANITATIONHANDWASHINGHEALTH CAREHEALTH CARE FACILITIESHEALTH EFFECTSHEALTH INTERVENTIONSHEALTH OUTCOMESHEALTH POLICIESHEALTH PROMOTIONHOUSEHOLD LATRINESHOUSEHOLDSHOUSINGHOUSING CONDITIONSHYGIENEHYGIENE BEHAVIORHYGIENE BEHAVIORSHYGIENE EDUCATIONHYGIENE EDUCATION PROGRAMSHYGIENE PRACTICESHYGIENE PROJECTSIMPROVEMENTS IN HEALTHINADEQUATE WATERINADEQUATE WATER SUPPLYINFANT MORTALITYINFECTIOUS DISEASESINTERVENTIONLATRINE CONSTRUCTIONLAWSLITERS PER CAPITA PER DAYLOCAL CAPACITYMEDICAL RESEARCHMORTALITYMORTALITY RATENUMBER OF PEOPLE WITHOUT ACCESSOCCUPATIONOPEN DEFECATIONPATIENTSPOLLUTIONPROVISION OF WATERPUBLIC HEALTHPUBLIC SANITATIONPUBLIC WATERQUALITY WATERQUANTITY OF WATERRURAL AREARURAL AREASRURAL DEVELOPMENTRURAL DRINKING WATERRURAL SANITATIONRURAL VILLAGESRURAL WATERRURAL WATER SUPPLYSAFE WATERSANITATION COMMITTEESANITATION COVERAGESANITATION FACILITIESSANITATION PRACTICESSANITATION PROMOTIONSANITATION SECTORSANITATION SERVICESANITATION SERVICESSANITATION SITUATIONSANITATION STRATEGYSANITATION SYSTEMSSELF-HELPSERVICE DELIVERYSOCIAL MARKETINGSOCIAL MOBILIZATIONSTORAGE CONTAINERSSTORAGE FOR DRINKING WATERTOILETSUNSAFE HYGIENEUSE OF LATRINESUSE OF TOILETSVACCINATIONVILLAGE WATERWALKINGWATER CONSUMPTIONWATER QUALITYWATER QUANTITYWATER RESOURCESWATER SECTORWATER SOURCEWATER SOURCESWATER STORAGEWATER SUPPLIESWATER SUPPLY SERVICESWATER TABLEWATER TREATMENTWATER USEWELLSReportWorld Bank10.1596/27733
