Overview

The goal of this interventional study is to evaluate the impacts of Financial Inclusion improvement sanitation and Health (FINISH) interventions in Kenya's Homa Bay County and Uganda's Kamwenge District among children under five. The main questions it aims to answer

are
  1. What is the estimated impact of the FINISH model on health outcomes (diarrhoea occurrence and hygienic behaviour) as well as social (school attendance and sanitation) in the intervention groups?
  2. What are the perspectives, attitudes, and practices of various stakeholders (communities, governments, entrepreneurs, and financiers) regarding the FINISH model?
  3. What is the cost-effectiveness of the FINISH model, including the amount of leverage funds generated?

The FINISH model postulates that countries will be supported to improve the enabling business environment for sanitation, markets to offer improved safely managed services and products at an affordable price, and formal and informal financial institutions will offer more funding to businesses and households for satiation and hygiene.

Researchers will then compare intervention areas (Homa Bay in Kenya and Kamwenge in Uganda) with control areas (Siaya and Bushenyi in Kenya and Uganda, respectively) to see if the FINISH intervention leads to improved sanitation, health outcomes, and economic benefits.
