June 2010 HIP-LIGHTS In Ethiopia, the field work was completed for the endline survey measuring the impact of the “Learning by Doing” initiative in Amhara Region. Senior Hygiene Advisor Sarah Fry spent two weeks in Madagascar and visited bloc sanitaires (public/private shower and latrine facilities) near Antananarivo and an “open defecation free” community that achieved total latrine coverage after a HIP-led community-led total sanitation (CLTS) activity. HIP held its fourth webinar on June 17 on “Experiences and Lessons Learned n Sanitation Marketing,” drawing on the experience of HIP and its partners in sanitation marketing activities in Uganda, Madagascar, and Peru.

New From HIP: 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.
