EHP
II Activities
Selection: Community-Based
Environmental Sanitation and Hygiene
Benin: Community-Based
Environmental Sanitation and Hygiene to Prevent Diarrheal Disease
Municipal teams in
four towns in Borgou Department are helping communities to identify and
analyze environmental problems related to diarrheal disease and to
address them through small-scale community projects, such as latrines
and water source protection.
Developing an Approach to
Community-Based Environmental Sanitation and Hygiene
Based on its own
work and the work of other external support agencies, EHP is developing
the essential elements of "hygiene improvement" as an
integrated approach to preventing diarrheal diseases through (1)
applying water and sanitation technologies, (2) creating enabling
environments, and (3) hygiene promotion to enable USAID and other
organizations to select approaches most appropriate for their situation.
Scoping Visits to Identify
Countries for Community-Based Environmental Sanitation and Hygiene
Programs
EHP is reaching
out to USAID missions to make them aware of the potential of EHP�s
CESH program (Community-Based Environmental Sanitation and Hygiene) to
address mission strategic objectives in reducing mortality from major
childhood diseases, principally diarrheal disease.
