Impact of WOBA on gender and social inclusion for communities in Vietnam’s remote mountainous districts
Households living in remote areas are generally considered to be more disadvantaged in terms of general economic development and access to WASH services. Therefore, this study aims to assess the impacts of WOBA on gender and social inclusion in WOBA’s remote mountainous districts. To achieve this central objective, the study is guided by two research questions: 1. To what extent has WOBA enhanced gender and social inclusion at the household, community and institutional level? 2. What are the factors that facilitate or constrain positive change toward gender and social inclusion at the household, community, and institutional level? In answering these two questions, the study provides insights into GSI and offer implications for policies and practices in GSI in WASH programs in remote mountainous areas generally and in Vietnam particularly.
