“…Similarly, Daniel et al (2023) found that male teachers who are the majority in administration in secondary schools in Cambodia have ended up allocating few resources to budget for sanitation facilities because they are not aware of the menstruation management needs of female students. Anbesu and Asgedom (2023), Nunbogu and Elliott (2023), and Sumpter and Torondel (2013), too, found that in Kenya, the inclusion of males in planning for females' sanitation facilities for menstruation management resulted in inadequate acknowledgment of their needs for menstruation hygiene. A similar situation was found at Bonn University Germany, where the exclusion of women's gender perspectives in sanitation resource management hindered the delivery of sanitation facilities, especially for menstruation (Mollinga, 2008; Sumpter & Torondel, 2013).…”

This study investigated the integration of water and sanitation facilities' programs for menstruation management with a focus on university planning and budgeting processes at Kyambogo University. The study employed qualitative methods of data collection and analysis from students and members of the university's top management. Findings revealed that there is limited engagement of female and male students in the budgeting and planning of water and sanitation facilities for menstruation management by the estates department; more so, the generic budget does not adequately cover all the requirements for menstruation management by female students, and female students perceive water and sanitation facilities for menstruation management as generally available but inaccessible and unacceptable in various ways. Thus, the study generates knowledge about the status of water and sanitation facilities for menstruation management to enable female students to participate in academic activities in higher education institutions by recommending that the Directorate of Planning and Development at Kyambogo University should promote a participatory and gender‐equity inclusive plan and budget that ensures that water and sanitation facilities for menstruation management become an integral aspect in planning and budgeting processes of the estates department. The university should equitably improve the current status of water and sanitation facilities for menstruation management by providing specific water in toilet rooms including changing rooms, replacement of broken doors to provide privacy, and other required facilities to enhance effective menstruation management.
