Revitalizing Informal Settlements and their Environments (RISE) is a five-year interdisciplinary research program which aims to demonstrate a new approach to water and sanitation management in urban informal settlements. Using a randomized control trial (RCT) methodology involving 24 informal settlements in Makassar, Indonesia, and Suva, Fiji, the RISE theory of change is that the localized, nature-based water-sensitive Cities (WSC) approach to informal settlement upgrading can interrupt the fecal-oral transmission route, resulting in an improvement in human gastrointestinal health, especially for children under 5 years of age. The expected outcome is to provide evidence that localized, nature-based approaches can deliver, sustainable, cost-effective improvements in health and the environment in the Asia-Pacific and promoting further deployments in the region and globally.
