التحول التشاركي للنظافة والصرف الصحي (PHAST) في المخيمات

This presentation describes the NETSSAF participatory planning approach in a brief manner.

The International Federation of the Red Cross (IRFC) has been implementing PHAST in emergencies when volunteers are already trained and the toolkits already are available. During a Cholera outbreak in west Uganda, they applied steps one, two, three. For the first step, the IFRC conducted a rapid assessment to determine the knowledge, skills, and practices amongst household in relation to Cholera. For step two the IRFC analysed the problem through household visits and applied pole shorting of linking good and bad practices to disease, pocket charting of practices and behaviour, transmission route identification, and the last activity to explore blocking transmission routes. In step, the third step the IRFC monitored hygiene activities through weekly household visits and reached 5335 households. They found that the community participation is crucial in empowering the population.

This Global Wash cluster manual provides training materials and handouts for facilitators to train hygiene prompters. It contains advice on hygiene promotion related non-food items selection and delivery. The WASH related non-food items briefing paper addresses maximizing benefits of the distribution of hygiene items, selection of hygiene items, guidance on distribution and tips for improving distribution of items, as well as suggestions for improved coordination.

The International Red Cross’s Health Guide Book provides a chapter providing guidance to improving water, sanitation, hygiene and vector control in emergency settings. It provides information on assessing needs in different phases, identifying the vulnerable group, and determine diseases to target. It provides guidance on disease transmission, community involvement in disease prevention with detail on the requirement in early emergencies phases.

This review discusses evidence on different approaches to Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene interventions contrasting the development context to the emergency content. Using reviews of cases, the report discusses the types of hygiene promotion interventions commonly applied and the approaches commonly applied. The report details the shift towards trend towards integrated approaches to after, sanitation, and hygiene. Requirements for effective hygiene promotion in emergencies are explored for different approaches to hygiene promotion as well as programming and implementation issues.

This guide provides a detailed description of the approach and his related core elements. The seven-step approach guides the reader and user through all important aspects of the PHAST planning process. Furthermore, important participatory methods for planning activities are described and training materials are included.

The Water Supply and Sanitation Collaborative Council's mission is to achieve sustainable water supply, sanitation and hygiene for all people in the world. This is the annual report 2009 of WSSCC.

The World Bank document also provides some common approaches of hygiene and sanitation planning tools including PHAST.
