The International Rescue Committee (IRC) launched an intervention to improve WASH provision in prolonged encampments. The three camps targeted included a camp in Ethiopia with refugees from Eritrea established in 2001, a camp in Kenya with refugees from South Sudan, Ethiopia, DR Congo and Somalia which was established in 1992, and a camp in Thailand with Burmese refugees established in 1989. The IRC was responsible for sanitation provision in these camps, implementing hygiene education activities in all camps by recruiting staff from the camp population. These staff then received annual training on the topics they were responsible for training. These staff carried out hygiene communication according to IRC`s weekly schedule of house visits, small group discussions, and broadcasts of hygiene messages. Their strategy was to meet a maximum amount of people through the hygiene education delivery.
