Hygiene Behaviour Chanage Communication is a sustained, well planned out system of activies that seeks to transform the hygiene beahviours of individuals, be they children, adults or the aged to exhibit desirable hygiene beahaviours and set aside negative behaviours. The WASH for Health Project funded by the United States Agency for International Development has over the past two years carefully researched, piloted and fine-tuned a set of comprehensive materials which are easy to learn, use and train other people to carry out successful hyiene behaviour change communicatioin activities.

The materials are recommended for use by Public Health Practitioners including Community Health Nurses, General Nurses, Environmental Health Officers and their Assistants, Community Development Officers, Community-Led Total Sanitation (CLTS) Practitioners, School-based Hygiene Coordinators, Teachers and many more professionals. Interested organizations/ individuals can get in touch with Global Communities to arrange for training in the use of the materials for its effective use.
