Theoretical Foundations of Community-Based Water Sanitation and Hygiene Programmes in Cholera Prevention: An African Perspective

Cholera outbreaks continue to pose significant public health challenges in many African regions, particularly in areas with limited access to clean water and sanitation facilities. Theoretical analysis will be employed to explore the theoretical underpinnings of CBWASH programmes from a legal and socio-economic perspective. The theoretical framework established here provides insights into the mechanisms that drive the efficacy or ineffectiveness of CBWASH programmes in reducing cholera incidence. Future research should focus on evaluating specific implementation strategies within different contexts, with a view to enhancing policy interventions and community participation.
