Guidance Note: Integration of CLTS and PHAST
The IFRC advocates strongly for the integration of hardware and software for ensuring sustainable and effective water and sanitation interventions. “Hardware” is defined as the engineering inputs related to appropriate equipment and construction, such as tanks, pipes, pumps and latrines. “Software” is an umbrella term and encompasses activities in the areas of community involvement and participation, hygiene promotion, local capacity-building and empowerment for ownership of facilities, monitoring and evaluation of impact and fostering behavioural change.
