IFRC Guidelines for hygiene promotion (HP) in emergency operations (8 steps)

The guidelines assist Red Cross and Red Crescent staff and volunteers to work systematically in delivering hygiene promotion (HP) including community engagement and accountabiliy in emergencies. The 8 steps start with understanding the problem and target groups, the barriers and motivators for behaviour change, and then sound planning and monitoring. Involving the community at all stages and ensuring the response is effective, appropriate and responsive to the needs is emphasized.
