HCD in WASH

In WASH, HCD has been used to design new technologies, service delivery models, behavior change strategies, marketing materials and even courses and training materials. HCD promotes deep engagement with users to nurture innovative, sustainable and scalable solutions. It often requires different resources and more flexibility than traditional approaches but the reward can be immense! This is because we often don’t understand the true problem until after the DISCOVER phase.
