Sanitation and Hygiene Promotion - Programming Guidance

According to the publishers, this publication is about setting in place a process whereby people (women, children and men) effect and sustain a hygienic and healthy environment for themselves. It talks about developing a programme for more effective investment in sanitation and hygiene promotion. It is not about developing projects and it does not give blue-print solutions for project-level interventions. Rather it aims to lay out a process for long-term change which may encompass institutional transformation of the policy and organisational arrangements for provision of goods and services.

The publication includes sections and chapters on:

• General principles and the basics of sanitation and hygiene promotion
• How to start the programming process
• Creating the enabling environment (policies, financing, monitoring and evaluation)
• Working with communities and households
• Programming for better implementation
• Selecting and marketing technologies
