Sanitation Update This news feed on sanitation is maintained by the IRC International Water and Sanitation Centre and by USAID’s Environmental Health knowledge management activity and the Hygiene Improvement Project. Its purpose is to provide news, information and resources to promote the 2008 International Year of Sanitation.
Hygiene Improvement Resources HIP aims to reduce the prevalence of diarrheal disease, especially among children under five, through the promotion of three key hygiene practices: hand washing with soap, treatment and safe storage of water at the household level, safe disposal of feces through improved sanitation. HIP also promotes the integration of hygiene improvement practices into HIV/AIDS and other health and non-health programs, such as schools. Below are resources related to these key hygiene practices.
HIP Presentations HIP has prepared and presented a number of papers at international conferences on water, sanitation, and hygiene around the world.
Tools HIP is designing and using a range of tools to assist program managers develop sustainable hygiene improvement programs at scale. These include formative research tools, behavior change tools, guidelines for working at scale, and many others.
Approaches This folder highlights the various approaches HIP will use to improve hygiene practices at scale.
Research and M&E Although research is not a HIP priority, the project will engage in limited operations research where the gaps are greatest. In addition, formative research may be necessary at a country level to develop appropriate behavior change strategies.
HIP has developed a monitoring and evaluation plan that responds to USAID's core funded and field funded programs in hygiene improvement.
