- The challenge:Strengthening capacities of local governments to deliver sanitation services is imperative to ensure we have area- and nation-wide outcomes. The top-down transfer of best practices from one place to another without accounting for local capabilities or resources overburdens administrations setting them up for failure. Horizontal P2P between local governments operating within a particular system, and under similar conditions, could support the spread of local innovation and ideas while avoiding the pitfalls of top-down, carbon copying of interventions.P2P learning is popular in development however much of the evidence base has focused on intervention in western contexts or international initiatives between the global North and the global South. There is limited scholarship on P2P between local governments within a low or middle income setting. - The approach:A participatory action research approach is proposed, working with an implementing partner to develop and test a P2P learning initiative in a particular country. Throughout the initiative data will be collected from participants. Regular workshops will also be held with the implementing partners and others involved in the rollout to reflect on data collected and tweak the intervention design. Participants will then be followed-up with to assess outcomes and impacts of the initiative, including any changes to the scale and quality of service provision. In addition, I plan on undertaking two to four case studies on P2P learning initiatives that can also be drawn on and inform the research project. - Impact:The primary aims of the research is to develop an evidence base on P2P learning between local governments in a low or middle income setting alongside a P2P learning intervention which increases local capacities. If successful the project could be expanded and a blueprint developed which other countries and regions could adapt to their context.

-挑战：必须加强地方政府提供卫生服务的能力，以确保我们在区域和全国范围内取得成果。自上而下地将最佳做法从一个地方转移到另一个地方，而不考虑当地的能力或资源，使管理部门不堪重负，导致它们失败。在特定系统和类似条件下运作的地方政府之间的水平P2P可以支持当地创新和思想的传播，同时避免自上而下、碳复制干预的陷阱。P2P学习在发展中很受欢迎，尽管许多证据基础侧重于干预西方背景或全球北方和全球南方之间的国际倡议。在低收入或中等收入环境下，地方政府之间关于P2P的学术研究有限。-方法：建议采用参与式行动研究方法，与执行伙伴合作，在特定国家制定和测试P2P学习倡议。在整个倡议过程中，将从参与者那里收集数据。还将与执行伙伴和参与推广的其他人定期举办讲习班，以反思收集的数据并调整干预措施的设计。随后将对参与者进行跟踪，以评估该倡议的成果和影响，包括提供服务的规模和质量的任何变化。此外，我计划进行两到四个关于P2P学习倡议的案例研究，这些研究也可以作为研究项目的参考和参考。-影响：研究的主要目的是建立一个关于低收入或中等收入环境下地方政府之间的P2P学习的证据基础，同时进行P2P学习干预，以提高当地的能力。如果成功，该项目可以扩大，并制定其他国家和区域可以适应其情况的蓝图。
