[20] It refers to the NTD roadmap milestones that included for example eradication of dracunculiasis by 2015 and of yaws by 2020, elimination of trachoma and lymphatic filariasis as public health problems by 2020, intensified control of dengue, schistosomiasis and soil-transmitted helminthiases.
This research therefore presents important findings for water, sanitation and hygiene in general and in the schools sector. Household access to improved water supply or piped water was not in itself associated with stunting. Future randomised trials are warranted to validate the causal association. [54] The study thus confirmed the linkages between adequate toilets in schools and educational progression of girls.
The WASH-attributable disease burden amounts to 3.3% of global deaths and 4.6% of global DALYs. This study describes a set of findings and conclusions that call into question the 'obvious logic' of school hygiene and sanitation promotion as currently practised.

Early child growth: how [10]:13, Dealing with inequalities of water access falls under international human rights law.
The aim of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of this intervention on reduction of diarrhoea among under-five children, and to identify the factors associated with childhood diarrhoea. Where appropriate, meta-analyses were undertaken. Int. For instance, a study conducted in Nepal found that adherence to the use of chlorine tablets or chlorine solution to purify water was as low as 18.5% among program households.
20-39%)) and neonatal tetanus (49% (95% c.i. aimed at saving lives and reducing illness by improving global access to healthy and safe water, adequate sanitation, and improved hygiene. The United Nation's International Year of Sanitation in 2008 helped to increase attention for funding of sanitation in WASH programs of many donors. Compared with open defecation, household access to toilet facility was associated with a 16-39% reduced odds of stunting among children aged 0-23 months, after adjusting for all potential confounders (NHFS-3 (OR=0.84, 95% CI 0.71 to 0.99); HUNGaMA (OR=0.84, 95% CI 0.78 to 0.91); CNSM (OR=0.61, 95% CI 0.44 to 0.85)). [56], Methods to improve the situation of WASH infrastructure at schools include on a policy level: broadening the focus of the education sector, establishing a systematic quality assurance system, distributing and using funds wisely. [25][23] Similarly, handwashing promotion has been found to be associated with a 47% decrease in morbidity. [45], A study in 2003 assessed the trends in gender mainstreaming at policy and institutional levels.
