Plan

Short note by Daniel Sarpong, Plan Ghana, describing children’s involvement in CLTS in one community in the Central Region of Ghana.

Good hygiene is part of total sanitation but deeply embedded cultural beliefs can make behaviour change difficult. Therefore, to plant the seeds of change early, Plan Bangladesh supports a programme of school sanitation and household hygiene education through a child-to-child approach in 83 schools of Sreepur upazila.

The Child-to-Child Approach is an educational process that links children’s learning with taking action to promote the health, wellbeing and development of themselves, their families and their communities. This case study by Afrianto Kurniawan describes the application of the child to child approach in CLTS in Indonesia.
