The baseline child survey, measuring the knowledge, attitudes and behaviour of children was completed by BIDS at the end of last year before the Unilever ‘School of 5’ campaign was implemented in the schools. The programme aims at promoting sustained use of hygienic household toilets, and the practice of hand washing with soap. The main purpose of the baseline survey was to assess the knowledge, attitudes and behaviour of children about water supply, sanitation and hand washing behaviour. 

The Midline Child Survey was conducted by BIDS/Ipsos during March-June 2015. Ipsos is part of a consortium, together with the NGOs Plan and Water Aid. It is a regional study being implemented in Bangladesh and Pakistan by Ipsos. The End line child survey was conducted by BIDS (on behalf of Ipsos) during September-December 2015.
