Principles for increasing equity in WASH research: understanding barriers faced by LMIC WASH researchers by J'Anna-Mare Lue, Salamata Bah, Kaelah Grant, Justine Lee, Leila Nzekele, James B. Tidwell

“…Five interviews were conducted with key WASH research funders to assess perceptions of obstacles faced by LMIC researchers, successes achieved and challenges faced by these organisations when working towards more equitable research processes within the WASH sector.Results The results were analysed using an emergent framework that categorised experiences based on power differentials and abuse of power; structural barriers due to organisational policies; institutional and individual indifference; othering speech, action and practices; and context-specific discrimination. The social-ecological model was combined with this framework to identify the types of actors and the level of co-ordination needed to address these issues. …”
