In Lebanon, in earlier phases of the conflict focused on establishing WASH infrastructure and hygiene promotion campaigns did little to promote facility maintenance and a sense of ownership. Later, Solidarity international launched a program where they established by a community WASH Committee from within the refugee population to self-maintain WASH facilities, carry out small-scale repairs, and continue hygiene promotion activities. This intervention was successful as it improved maintenance and the levels of hygiene at the camps and simultaneously built up the resiliency of the communities.
