Child-Friendly Hygiene and Sanitation Facilities in Schools

Annex 2: Sample set-up for the development of hygiene and sanitation facilities
ANNEX 2
Preparation & Mobilisation
• Presentation of project set-up to women and men from all stakeholder groups, including children.
What is expected from them and what outcomes do they expect? Make sure poor families will also
be present.
• Assessment of the existing skills, knowledge and attitude of the different groups towards their own
hygiene practices and their readiness to change.
• Identification of key stakeholders and setting up of a representative committee with equal
representation of all stakeholders, e.g. children, teachers and parents of both sexes, different age
groups, all social classes, religions, castes, ethnic groups, etc.
Self-Assessment & Identification
• Participatory consultations with the stakeholders separated by target group (students, teachers,
parents and community), gender and age to discuss hygiene practices.
• Interactive workshops with the committee to introduce the participating groups to hygiene and
sanitation principles.
• Self-assessment by the committee on current hygiene and sanitation facilities and practices and
identification of problems and needs.
• Formulation of key problems, needs and priorities and presentation of the outcome of the selfassessment
to the other stakeholders.
Design & Formulation
• Formulation of preconditions for design solutions: necessary capacity, funding, approaches for
different age groups, availability of materials, etc.
• By the use of appropriate participatory tools, review of possible options for systems, materials,
layouts and locations, including their implications on costs, operation and maintenance.
• If possible, a project visit to other locations with similar hygiene and sanitation facilities as those
proposed.
• Design of several alternatives and preparation of accessible presentations (perspective drawings,
scale models, etc.).
• Presentations of designs by the committee to all stakeholders and joint selection of the most
appropriate design.
