Life skills-based hygiene education offers teachers the opportunity to help children obtain life skills by addressing hygiene issues. IRC is pleased to present this guidance document for the planning and development of life skills based education. It was prepared with financial support from UNICEF. It builds among others on the outcomes of the first life skills-based hygiene education workshop organised in New York and on experiences from a number of countries involved in a multi-year school sanitation and hygiene education programme. The document provides a good introduction to life skills-based hygiene education. We look forward to receiving suggestions and ideas on how to further improve support to teachers who want to make hygiene education even more meaningful.
