Terms of Reference (ToR) for Introduction and Background of the campaign Paurashava is responsible to ensure sanitation services for its citizen as per municipality act 2009. But, they are facing different type of challenges to ensure citywide sanitation services. As for example, lack of resources, lack of capacity, lack of demand of sanitation services, sanitation and hygiene behaviour of households and non-households. Behaviour change communication (BCC) and demand creation is one of the core components of urban sanitation. Without increased demand for sanitation services, the market for safely managed sanitation or faecal sludge management and other sanitation services and the willingness-to-pay is limited. To realize this, Jashore and Benapole municipalities have taken different initiatives related to BCC and demand creation. Now both municipalities have planned to conduct BCC campaign on identified priority behaviour. SNV Netherlands Development Organisation has been providing necessary support to Jashore and Benapole municipalities in designing and implementing BCC campaign. To understand sanitation and hygiene situation, a baseline study was conducted by Jashore and Benapole municipalities with necessary support from SNV. This study revealed that although a significant proportion of the households have access to toilets, the toilets are mostly unimproved, flies come contact with faeces, many are unhygienic and, for most, sludge ends up untreated in the environment. As a result, environment is being contaminated and posing health risk. After dig deeper into baseline data and consultation with relevant stakeholders, priority behaviours were identified which need to address to improve sanitation situation. A formative research was conducted which contributed in prioritizing behavioural determinants that need to address and there is opportunity and scope to change through BCC intervention to improve sustainability of outcomes. Based on the findings of formative research, a practical and evidence based ‘BCC and demand creation strategy’ was developed separately for Jashore and Benapole, which is approved by municipal authority. Under the guidance of BCC Strategy and considering significant determinants BCC campaign was designed for both municipalities and identified some activities for implementation.This campaign has planned in targeting one behaviour of each municipality. Jashore municipality has selected “Timely and safe removal of faecal sludge from septic tank/pit”, while Benapole municipality selected the behaviour “Use improve toilet without access by flies and rats”. Beside this, school is one of the segments of urban sanitation. SNV is supporting education and school authority and school management committee related to school sanitation. As part of this, SNV is providing necessary support to three secondary schools at Jashore to demonstrate school sanitation. Under this initiative, SNV have plan to develop some communication material on hygiene promotion and maintenance of toilet for school sanitation targeting students and other stakeholders.
