Learn About Behaviour Change
WASH interventions require people to change their behaviours to adopt new technologies and practices. This isn't easy. We know that successful WASH interventions are guided by evidence-based behaviour change theories and are adapted to be context-specific.
This collection of online learning activities and job aids helps to demystify behaviour change and gets you started on incorporating effective approaches to behaviour change in WASH interventions.
