Abstract: Access to clean drinking water remains a major challenge in low- and middle-income countries, causing premature death from waterborne diseases, especially in water-insecure settings such as Afghanistan. While technologies and solutions for household-level water treatment exist, models to guide behaviour change for their adoption tend to stress psychological dimensions of behaviour with relatively little grounding in local expressions and contextual drivers of households’ water treatment behaviour in low- and middle-income countries.
