Hygiene promotion is the foundation of any successful WASH programme and operation; yet it often does not receive as much attention (or resources) as water and sanitation. The hygiene promoter role has been identified as a gap profile, which is critical for WASH rapid response and emergency response Unit (ERU) rosters outlined on IFRC GO – Deployments for example: Mass Sanitation Module 20 (MSM20), Household water treatment and Safe Storage (HWTSS) and Water Supply Rehabilitation (WSR).
This is an advanced level course for hygiene promotion in emergencies (HPiE), which aims to prepare National Society staff to implement high quality hygiene promotion programmes and
operations which adhere to IFRC WASH guidelines for hygiene promotion in emergencies. This training is aligned with IFRCs WASH Technical Competency Framework (Tier C – Design hygiene
promotion programmes and evaluate the outcomes) for hygiene promotion, and the Rapid Response Profile for WASH Officer – Hygiene Promoter.
