This service offer contributes to the achievement of multiple Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 6.2 (equitable sanitation), SDG 3 (good health), and SDG 4 (quality education).
It focuses on measures to sensitize and spread knowledge about hygiene topics, fostering hygiene awareness and anchoring safe hygiene practices. Hygiene awareness and behaviour change are vital for improving public health, especially for vulnerable populations. Focusing on public institutions—such as schools, healthcare facilities, and faith-based organizations—is key to embedding these practices at the core of communities.
This service offer provides essential background information, critical minimum standards, and the necessary steps for implementation. The content is informed by the practical experience of the 'Sanitation for Millions' programme. It is part of a series of service offers developed by the programme as part of a commission from the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) in 2022. This service also includes information on Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM), but there are two other service offers dedicated specifically to MHM (MHM on community level and MHM on policy level).
