水、环境卫生和个人卫生（WASH）部门的地方性可持续性问题导致了“系统方法”的迅速扩展，以评估影响WASH成果的众多相互关联的因素。然而，该部门缺乏对系统方法知识库的系统分析和定性，特别是如何和在何处实施这些方法，以及实施这些方法产生了哪些结果。为了满足这一需求，我们进行了广泛的系统性文献综述的系统方法，跨同行评审，灰色，和组织的文献。我们的研究结果表明，无数的方法，范围和应用程序的部门内，但在文献中的信息不足的水平，以评估系统的方法，以提高WASH服务的可持续性的实用性和有效性。基于这一分析，我们提出了四项建议，以改善证据基础，包括：多样化的方法，明确评估WASH系统内的因素之间的相互联系;扩大地缘政治的应用;改善报告所需的资源，以实施特定的方法;并加强文件的影响，WASH服务的系统方法。总的来说，这些研究结果提供了一个强大的调查现有景观的系统方法为WASH，并提出了未来的研究在这一新兴领域的路径。
Endemic issues of sustainability in the water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) sector have led to the rapid expansion of ‘system approaches’ for assessing the multitude of interconnected factors that affect WASH outcomes. However, the sector lacks a systematic analysis and characterization of the knowledge base for systems approaches, in particular how and where they are being implemented and what outcomes have resulted from their application. To address this need, we conducted a wide-ranging systematic literature review of systems approaches for WASH across peer-reviewed, grey, and organizational literature. Our results show a myriad of methods, scopes, and applications within the sector, but an inadequate level of information in the literature to evaluate the utility and efficacy of systems approaches for improving WASH service sustainability. Based on this analysis, we propose four recommendations for improving the evidence base including: diversifying methods that explicitly evaluate interconnections between factors within WASH systems; expanding geopolitical applications; improving reporting on resources required to implement given approaches; and enhancing documentation of effects of systems approaches on WASH services. Overall, these findings provide a robust survey of the existing landscape of systems approaches for WASH and propose a path for future research in this emerging field.
