The role of the Community WASH Promoter is essential for the successful implementation of
any household water treatment, sanitation, or hygiene (WASH) project. Through this workshop,
participants will gain a clear understanding of the best practices for supporting community
members in changing their behaviours of WASH practices with the aim of achieving improved
community livelihoods.

This workshop has 3 modules: Foundation, Technical, and Practical. The first and last
modules are required for the workshop, but the Technical module is flexible and created by
choosing any of the technical lessons you wish to include related to WASH.

The workshop begins with an exploration of the importance of WASH, its benefits, the
challenges of achieving behaviour change, and the role of a Community WASH Promoter. The
workshop then covers the more technical aspects of WASH, with a focus on household water
treatment technologies, safe storage and handling of water, the importance of sanitation,
hygiene issues, and the importance of inclusion of every member of the community. The last
stage of this workshop is very practical and outlines the steps and effective strategies for
effectively working with households and community members.
