Résumé:
Une enquête a été menée auprès des ménages pour évaluer les comportements d'hygiène et d'assainissement ainsi que la volonté de payer en milieu rural au Sénégal.
Les résultats de cette étude permettent de développer des outils de changement de comportements et de communication à partir d’éléments probants, avec un accent mis sur l’amélioration des pratiques d’assainissement et d’hygiène. Le but est de susciter durablement la demande des communautés rurales et de développer l’offre correspondante en services améliorés d’hygiène et d’assainissement à l’échelle du pays. Abstract:
The indicators for access to drinking water in Senegal suggest that 32% of the rural population have a piped connection on their premises while 35% cover their needs from other improved sources. This means that 33% of the population still satisfies their needs from unimproved sources, including 1% from surface water (WHO/UNICEF, JMP, 2015).
Access to water is also fundamental to good hygiene behavior, notably for washing hands. However, in rural areas, dedicated hand washing stations have been observed in 24.8% of all households. Among the members of these households, only 44.6% used water and soap for hand washing; 18.7% used water only and 35.2% had neither water nor soap or any other detergent to wash their hands (EDS, 2014).
With regard to sanitation, important efforts need to be made in Senegal as in the rural area, 34% of the population have access to improved sanitation; 42% use unimproved latrines (including 8% who share latrines) and 24% practice open defecation (OD; WHO/UNICEF, JMP, 2015). Hygiene and sanitation are thus priorities for the government of Senegal, as demonstrated by the inauguration of the Programme d’Eau Potable et d’Assainissement du Millénaire (PEPAM, Millennium Drinking Water and Sanitation Program).
