About this study
Official title: Impact of the Financial Inclusion Improves Sanitation and Health (FINISH) 2022- 2024 Intervention. Protocol for a Cluster - Randomized Controlled Trial in Kenya's Homa Bay County and Uganda's Kamwenge District
The goal of this interventional study is to evaluate the impacts of Financial Inclusion improvement sanitation and Health (FINISH) interventions in Kenya's Homa Bay County and Uganda's Kamwenge District among children under five. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- What is the estimated impact of the FINISH model on health outcomes (diarrhoea occurrence and hygienic behaviour) as well as social (school attendance and sanitation) in the intervention groups?
- What are the perspectives, attitudes, and practices of various stakeholders (communities, governments, entrepreneurs, and financiers) regarding the FINISH model?
- What is the cost-effectiveness of the FINISH model, including the amount of leverage funds generated?
Read more
The FINISH model postulates that countries will be supported to improve the enabling business environment for sanitation, markets to offer improved safely managed services and products at an affordable price, and formal and informal financial institutions will offer more funding to businesses and households for satiation and hygiene.
Researchers will then compare intervention areas (Homa Bay in Kenya and Kamwenge in Uganda) with control areas (Siaya and Bushenyi in Kenya and Uganda, respectively) to see if the FINISH intervention leads to improved sanitation, health outcomes, and economic benefits.

What participants receive
What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.
Financial Inclusion Improves Sanitation and HealthBehavioural
This innovative model engages transformative partnerships which include four key stakeholders (communities, communities, governments, entrepreneurs, and financiers) to improve sanitation services and supply value chains. The work is two-sided: to create demand for improved sanitation facilities in communities while facilitating microcredit access for people and sanitation businesses on the supply side.
| Study group | Role | What they receive |
|---|---|---|
| Treatment group | Active comparator | The intervention arm involves communities within Homa Bay County in Kenya and Kamwenge District in Uganda, where the FINISH Mondial initiative is implemented. This intervention aims to improve sanitation and health through a public-private partnership model, engaging communities, governments, entrepreneurs, and financiers to enhance sanitation services and supply chains. Receives: Behavioral: Financial Inclusion Improves Sanitation and Health |
| Control group | No intervention | The control arm includes communities in Siaya County in Kenya and Bushenyi in Uganda, where the FINISH intervention is not implemented, serving as a comparison to evaluate the effectiveness of the intervention. |
What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
Health outcome, measured as, Proportion of households with diarrhoea occurrence in children under five years, and social outcome measured as proportion of households whose children missed school due to diarrhoea occurrence
Diarrhoea occurrence in children under 5 years is measured as:- In the past two weeks child/children under 5 years who have had three or more loose or watery stools. households whose children missed school due to diarrhoea occurrence, is measured as proportion of households whose children missed school due to diarrhoeal disease in the past 30 days
Measured: 4 years, which includes baseline data collection, implementation and endline data collection

Clinical summary
The research question as the sponsor registered it. This describes what the study plans to test, not what it found.
The goal of this interventional study is to evaluate the impacts of Financial Inclusion improvement sanitation and Health (FINISH) interventions in Kenya's Homa Bay County and Uganda's Kamwenge District among children under five. The main questions it aims to answer are:
- What is the estimated impact of the FINISH model on health outcomes (diarrhoea occurrence and hygienic behaviour) as well as social (school attendance and sanitation) in the intervention groups?
- What are the perspectives, attitudes, and practices of various stakeholders (communities, governments, entrepreneurs, and financiers) regarding the FINISH model?
- What is the cost-effectiveness of the FINISH model, including the amount of leverage funds generated?
The FINISH model postulates that countries will be supported to improve the enabling business environment for sanitation, markets to offer improved safely managed services and products at an affordable price, and formal and informal financial institutions will offer more funding to businesses and households for satiation and hygiene.
Researchers will then compare intervention areas (Homa Bay in Kenya and Kamwenge in Uganda) with control areas (Siaya and Bushenyi in Kenya and Uganda, respectively) to see if the FINISH intervention leads to improved sanitation, health outcomes, and economic benefits.
