本文利用有关风险的理论论述来回顾文化和宗教概念，这些概念挑战了撒哈拉以南非洲地区普遍获得水、环境卫生和个人卫生 (WASH) 的成就。在审查中，复杂的 WASH 行为与主导情境经验相关，通常嵌套在文化和宗教信仰和价值观中，这往往会使风险复杂化，并限制该次区域实现 WASH 普遍覆盖。文章认为，纯粹根据社会经济限制来界定问题无法解释 WASH 行为的背景触发因素，从而使干预计划不太可能成功。
This article uses theoretical discourses on risk to engage in a review of cultural and religious concepts that challenge the achievement of universal access to water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) in Sub-Saharan Africa. In the review, complex WASH behaviours evolve in relation to dominant situated experiences, often nested in cultural and religious beliefs and values, which tend to complicate risks and limit the attainment of universal WASH coverage in the subregion. The article argues that framing problems purely with respect to socio-economic limitations fails to account for the contextual triggers of WASH behaviours, making intervention programmes less likely to succeed.
