Focus on health promotion for water, sanitation and hygiene to stimulate improved services and practices can also be combined with broader health campaigns. A good example is the 'Blue Star' ('Estrella Azul') campaign developed in Nicaragua, in which the local ministries of Health, Education and the National Water Supply agency, worked together with many local NGO's, and with technical support from USAID's Environmental Health Project and John Hopkins University<ref>.

Changing behaviour is very difficult. Companies are very succesful at changing behaviour, as the very succesful efforts to get soap in almost every household around the world show. Therefore, knowledge sharing between the public sector, the private sector and NGO's can be very beneficial, and Public-Private Partnerships are a good possibility here. This type of cooperation has been the basis of the Global Public-Private Partnership for Handwashing. <ref>[http://www.globalhandwashing.org Global Public-Private Partnership for Handwashing website]</ref>.

The following projects utilize hygiene and health promotion.<br>{{RSR_table|style1image="widthproject 769.jpg |1link=http: 70%; text//rsr.akvo.org/project/769/ |1project#=769 |1project name=Life -align<br>WASH ||2image=project 787.jpg |2link=http: justify; background//rsr.akvo.org/project/787/ |2project#=787 |2project name=MWA-colorLAP: #f5f5f5;" <br>Guatemala ||[[Image3image=project 703.jpg |3link=http://rsr 769.jpgakvo.org/project/703/ |thumb3project#=703 |none3project name=MWA-LAP: <br>Mexico |200px|<font size4image=project 1349.jpg |4link="2"><center>Project 769<http://rsr.akvo.org/project/1349/center>|4project#=1349 |4project name=Safe water </fontbr>for Wajir |link|5image=project 819.jpg |5link=http://wwwrsr.akvo.org/project/819/ |5project#=819 |5project name=Water, Food & Sanitation for School + Community |}}{{RSR_table|1image=project 790.jpg |1link=http://rsr.akvo.org/project/769790/]]|1project#=790 |1project name=WaSH program in Rural Bangladesh ||'''Akvo RSR Project:''' [2image=project 644.jpg |2link=http://wwwrsr.akvo.org/project/644/ |2project#=644 |2project name=Rwenzori Integrated School WASH Project ||3image=project 600.jpg |3link=http://rsr.akvo.org/project/769600/ Life|3project#=600 |3project name=Community-led WASH]and Safe Motherhood |Similar to natural disasters, the |4image=project 467.jpg |4link=http://rsr.akvo.org/project area is severely affected with excessive saline intrusion both in the groundwater /467/ |4project#=467 |4project name=Community Water and surface water mixed with unacceptable level of iron and arsenic (Sanitation Project ||5image=project 340.jpg |5link=http://rsr.akvo.org/project/340/ |5project#=340 |5project name=Water training centre in the groundwater)Malawi |}}{{RSR_table|1image=project 674.png |1link=http://rsr.akvo.org/project/674/ |1project#=674 |1project name=Wateroogst: <br> Konso Woreda/Eshimale ||2image=project 810.png |2link=http://wash-liberia.
