Background
WaterAid is an International Non-Governmental Organization (INGO) with a vision of ensuring Safe Water Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) for Everyone, everywhere by 2030. WaterAid’s mission is to transform the lives of the poorest and most marginalized people by expanding and improving access to WASH, working with partners and decision-makers to maximize its impact. WaterAid has had its operations in Tanzania since 1983 under the name “WaterAid Tanzania,” which is registered as a Non-Governmental Organization (NGO) in the United Republic of Tanzania and operates as a Country Programme and a functional office of WaterAid U.K. within the East African Region.
Currently, WaterAid Tanzania is implementing the “Behavioral Adaptation for Water Security and Inclusion” (BASIN) project, funded by IDRC and FCDO under the CLARE program under the academic oversight from London School of Economics (LSE). The BASIN project aims to address water security as a central challenge in climate change adaptation. In Africa, water insecurity is a significant issue, with one in three Africans experiencing water scarcity. This scarcity disproportionately affects women, children, and other marginalized groups. The BASIN project examines adaptation behaviors and practices to identify insights and practical actions that address intersectional concerns that can be implemented at scale.
The project will test the potential of behavioral and psychological sciences (B&PS) in promoting inclusive water security for the most vulnerable in Burkina Faso, Malawi, and Tanzania. Adaptation to water scarcity is fundamentally about behavior change. The B&PS offer insights into how individual perceptions, motivations, and agency affect actions on weather and climate information and responses to changing hazard profiles. However, there is a gap in applying these sciences to adaptation strategies that promote water security for vulnerable communities in Africa as they primarily draw from Western societies. The BASIN project seeks to bridge this gap by examining adaptation behaviors at individual, organizational, and political levels, fostering inclusive, climate-adaptive behaviors for water security in Bassotu village.
