Linking Climate Vulnerability, Latrine Functionality, and Fecal Sludge Management in Rural Cambodia

Through this Research Brief, International Development Enterprises (iDE) seeks to examine "How does living in climate-vulnerable areas affect latrine functionality, and households’ sanitation behaviors?". In partnership with the University of Colorado Boulder, iDE designed and conducted a FSM survey to better understand household-level FSM decision-making and practices across five provinces in Cambodia (Kampong Thom, Kandal, Prey Veng, Siem Reap, Svay Rieng).

iDE intends to use these insights to target sanitation-challenging areas and increase households’ WASH
resilience against increasingly extreme seasonal climate change shocks.
