Ghana WASH Behavior Change Communication Package

Under the USAID WASH for Health program, Global Communities worked with government officials and WASH sector stakeholders to research, analyze and design a comprehensive behavior change communication (BCC) package that contains a broad range of materials from instruction manuals to games and radio dramas that educate people on the importance of safer hygiene behaviors. Since introducing the package in June 2017 more than 600 people have been trained on how to utilize the materials. The key messages include the importance of washing hands with soap under running water before eating and after defecating; the proper treatment, storage and retrieval of drinking water; and installing, using, and maintaining latrine.
