Abstract This paper delves into a comprehensive exploration of the adoption and delivery of WASH (Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene) services. Its primary focus lies on meticulously examining the challenges, enablers, and critical elements that significantly influence the effective implementation of such services. In its quest for knowledge, the paper undertakes an extensive synthesis of data, drawing from a diverse array of sources such as research studies, reports, and academic papers. These sources, complemented by real-world case studies, paint a comprehensive portrait of the current state of affairs in the world of WASH services.The analysis presented in the review emphasizes the utmost importance of addressing both the supply and demand sides of the WASH market. Acknowledging this crucial duality sheds light on the potential obstacles that might impede progress and highlights strategies and approaches to overcome these challenges and elevate the quality of WASH services. Among the reasons for non-adoption and non-compliance with WASH were the lack of proper sanitation facilities, filthy conditions in existing facilities, cultural concerns, and poor health education. An integrative approach is necessary to effectively enhance WASH uptake and adherence. To influence the prioritisation process and the ensuing adherence to WASH facilities, behavioural theories and interventions that are appropriate for the situation must be used. Therefore, the review provides insightful information about improving WASH service delivery, highlighting the importance of a comprehensive and well-rounded strategy in attaining significant influence and long-term results. |
