Abstract

This desk-based review, funded by WaterAid, describes how water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) actors can better address the hygiene needs of people living with urinary and/or faecal incontinence in developing countries. The review outlines what incontinence is and how people generally manage their incontinence, as well as relevant experiences and guidance from within the development and humanitarian spheres (related to incontinence as well as other areas such as menstrual hygiene management (MHM) and inclusive WASH). The report also provides recommendations on how to better support the hygiene and WASH needs of those people suffering from incontinence.
