The USAID Hygiene Improvement Project (HIP) is pleased to share a new publication, Access and Behavioral Outcome Indicators for Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene.

HIP developed this publication for USAID and other organizations to measure progress for hand washing, household water treatment and storage, and sanitation activities and provide guidance to implementers of WASH programs on what indicators to use to measure their programs’ achievements. This new document is available on HIP's website at: http://www.hip.watsan.net/page/4148.

You are also invited to participate in a webinar about this new publication on March 2, 2010, at 10 am Eastern Standard Time (Washington, DC). Orlando Hernandez, HIP's monitoring and evaluation specialist, will discuss this new publication and how program managers can apply these indicators to their WASH programs.

USAID / WASH Training Package for the Prevention of Diarrheal Disease

Handy training tool on WASH/Diarrheal Disease from USAID:

WASH Training Package for the Prevention of Diarrheal Disease

The "Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene Improvement Training Package for the Prevention of Diarrheal Disease," provides information for organizations worldwide that seek to add WASH activities to their current programs or to start a diarrhea reduction program. It is intended to support the training of local outreach workers and their work in communities to promote improved WASH practices to reduce diarrhea. The Training Package consists of three separate parts: (1) a step-by-step "Guide for Training Outreach Workers," (2) an "Outreach Worker’s Handbook" for community outreach workers to use during and after training, and (3) a "Collection of Resource Materials" to use as a source for visual aids.
