  • Sanitation Marketing at Scale: Experiences from Rural Benin
    Sanitation Marketing April 2011 At Scale Field Note Sanitation and Hygiene Series Experiences from Rural Benin Sanitation Marketing At Scale This field note presents the Benin story and its development of a successful national sanitation marketing program adapted to the rural African context. It provides valuable learning, lessons and innovations for other African countries seeking to develop rural sanitation marketing programs that stimulate household demand at scale and harness the potential and capacity of the local informal private sector market to supply products that respond to consumer needs. 1 Summary Map of Benin Sanitation marketing is a sustainable approach to household sanitation uptake at scale. While efforts in Africa to use marketing are underway in several countries, success stories have yet to be shared. In Benin, the Directorate for Hygiene and Basic Sanitation within the Ministry of Health has championed the development and operation of a highly innovative rural sanitation marketing programme. Within the first one-and-a-half years promotion cycle under national roll-out launched in 2005, the programme has resulted in a 10 percentage point increase in improved sanitation coverage from a baseline of 6.2% across 80,000 monitored households. Besides the one in ten households in enrolled communities that has completed construction, a further 2 to 3 out of every ten households is either planning or in the process of building an improved family latrine by accessing market-supplied materials and services. While already impressive these figures likely underestimate the full impact of this marketing intervention for reasons which are explained. This field note presents the Benin story and its development of a successful national sanitation marketing program adapted to the rural African context.

Signature: ______________________________________________ III UNIVERSITY OF SUSSEX ALVARO GOMES MOREIRA DPHIL DEVELOPMENT STUDIES FROM AD HOC TO DURABLE? DEVELOPMENT COOPERATION AND INSTITUTIONAL BRICOLAGE IN THE COTTON SECTOR IN BENIN SUMMARY This thesis is about the history of development encounters in the cotton sector in Benin. It presents a perspective that is centred on the long durée of the host context instead of the short-lived and specific experiences of each cotton project. I substantiate this change of perspective by addressing the following question: how has the cotton sector in Benin come to incorporate the institutional arrangements of development cooperation projects into enduring institutions? This thesis contends that development projects, although temporary and specific, are inserted into a historical continuum that has regularised development cooperation practices over time, and that is perpetuated by both implementers and hosts.

  • Sanitation Promotion in Developing Countries
    ABSTRACT This dissertation examines the decision of private households to install a pit latrine in rural Benin, West Africa. A conceptual framework for understanding sanitation choices in developing countries is derived from behavioral and consumer choice theories. Cultural foundations of consumption and defecation-related beliefs and behavior are integral parts of this explanatory framework. Findings from a qualitative investigation of household behavior in rural Benin are synthesized to construct a schematic model of the decision to adopt a latrine. The model asserts that the key conditions for latrines to be chosen in rural Benin are the presence of at least one active drive or dissatisfaction from among the 11 found to motivate adoption (concerning prestige, well-being, and two particular situations), and the absence of constraints on adoption among 13 related to awareness, physical implementation, and psycho-social issues. Lifestyle and village environment influence the presence of drives. Latrine adoption and other data for 520 villages in the study area are analyzed in models of village-level adoption to test hypotheses from the qualitative work about the factors that arouse desires for latrines. Village-level conditions and characteristics that stimulate demand for improved sanitation are identified. Finally, data on the adoption behavior of 320 households are collected in a survey, analyzed, and used to develop regression and logit models of preference for latrines, stated intention to adopt, and observed choice to install a latrine. These models indicate that the most important motives for adoption are distance to open defecation and prestige, in particular a desire to express new experiences and a new lifestyle acquired outside the ii village.

  • Benin• Floods Situation Report #8 4 November 2010
    Benin• Floods Situation Report #8 4 November 2010 This report was issued by UNOCHA Benin. It covers the period from 27 October to 4 November. The next report will be issued on or around 11 November. I. HIGHLIGHTS/KEY PRIORITIES • Rains continue, mostly in the north of the country, although the dry season is expected to start soon. • The Emergency Humanitarian Appeal Plan was launched this week requesting US$ 46,847,399 to assist flood victims. • On 30 October WFP started food distribution in Zagnanado for 2,450 vulnerable people in collaboration with the National Red Cross. II. Situation Overview The latest governmental figures report that 680,000 people and 55 municipalities out of 77 in the country have been affected by floods since the start of heavy rains in August. The flooding has caused at least 46 deaths, 1,000 injuries and left more than 150,000 people homeless. According to field reports, sporadic rains continue mostly in the north, but waters are gradually receding in many parts of the country. In some departments water stagnation continues. Humanitarian organizations, including United Nations agencies and NGOs, are working to provide assistance to those in need, especially in the area of food, health, shelters, and water and sanitation. Health could become a major concern in the worst affected areas, as the recession of water in the next few weeks could increase the number of cholera and malaria cases. Serious humanitarian consequences will be registered particularly in the agricultural sector as the planting season, due to start in November, will be severely affected by the unexpectedly high rainfall.

The typology of peasant systems for the storage of agricultural products has been possible thanks to socio-anthropological surveys. AFC (Factorial Correspondence Analysis) and the Chi-square test (chi²) respectively made it possible to establish the factorial map of the storage structures in relation to the arron dissements and to search for a possible relationship between the variables and the factors using the Chi-square test (Chi2). From the results obtained, it can be seen that in the study area there are traditional, semi-modern and modern storage. The traditional one is governed by the use of Agogranaries (48.73% of users), Djago (6.8%), the use of the ceiling of houses (34.4%) and wool bags (69.6%). The use of cans (8.7%) and casks (8.2%) constitutes the bulk of semi-modern storage. Modern storage that is governed by the use of modern stores.
