WASH Training Package for Prevention of Diarrheal Disease

The "Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene [WASH] Improvement Training Package for the Prevention of Diarrheal Disease," provides information for organisations worldwide that seek to add WASH activities to their current programmes or to start a diarrhoea reduction programme. It is intended to support the training of local outreach workers and their work in communities to promote improved WASH practices to reduce diarrhoea. 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.
