Community Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene Promotion Training Course

This Community Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene Promotion training focuses on helping participants promote safe water use, improved sanitation, and healthy hygiene practices within communities. The course explores community engagement, behavior change communication, sanitation improvement, water safety, health education, and WASH program management. Participants will gain practical skills for supporting sustainable community-led solutions that improve health and well-being.

Throughout the programme, participants work through realistic scenarios drawn from development initiatives, donor-funded programmes, nonprofit operations, and public sector environments, examining how community water, sanitation, and hygiene promotion is applied in practice and where it most often breaks down. Delegates will develop practical skill in designing appropriate frameworks, selecting and applying the right tools for planning and managing WASH programs, interpreting findings, and communicating conclusions clearly to colleagues, management and external stakeholders. Sessions move deliberately from principles to application, so that each technique introduced is practised against a realistic problem before the programme moves on — strengthening both individual effectiveness and the wider capability of the organizations delegates return to.
