Comprehensive diarrhoeal disease control and prevention requires inclusive and sustainable water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services, infrastructure and hygiene behaviours, alongside immunisation programmes.

In this policy brief and summary two-pager, produced with the SHARE research consortium, we outline the strong rationale for their joint delivery.
