Under the lead of FHNW, Ranas contributed to the development of a practical manual about the steps needed to select and promote household water filters in emergency settings. The manual is structured in a modular way:
Part 1: introduces and outlines a general study set-up to answer the most pressing questions
- Is the filter suitable for our context?
- Does the filter perform well and is it accepted?
- Which of the multiple filters suits better for our context?
- How should the filter be optimized to better meet the needs and context?
Part 2: comprises many information sheets on a wide range of topics
- Filter and context pre-evaluation
- Logistics and preparation
- Distribution, user information and training
- Technical performance evaluation
- User acceptance evaluation
The manual was funded and supported by Elrha’s Humanitarian Innovation Fund (HIF) programme.
