Join ERS and CAWST for an interactive, three-day workshop designed for sanitation specialists, field technicians, and active local WASH committee members in Liberia. This hands-on training equips participants with the core principles of Community WASH Promotion and practical field techniques to reduce public health risks and drive lasting community hygiene impact.
Running from November 24-26, 2026, this in-person intensive features 6-hour daily sessions starting promptly at 9:00 AM (18 hours total). Through participatory group exercises and applied learning, participants will strengthen their ability to pair technical sanitation solutions with effective community mobilization and behavior-change communication.
Who Should Attend & Commitment: This workshop is tailored for frontline sanitation specialists and field technicians implementing local sanitation infrastructure, alongside permanent local residents who serve as active WASH committee members. Ideal candidates bring strong community ties, basic interpersonal and facilitation skills, and firsthand familiarity with local water and sanitation challenges. Because each day builds sequentially on practical field methodologies, participants must commit to full daily attendance across all three days and be prepared to lead ongoing neighborhood and household hygiene promotion follow-up activities after the training.
