Seven steps to community planning for the prevention of diarrhoeal disease

This step has three activities.

 

1. Blocking the spread of disease helps group members discover ways to prevent or “block” diarrhoeal disease from being spread via the transmission routes identified in the previous activity.

2. Selecting the barriers helps the group to analyse the effectiveness and ease of actions to block transmission routes and choose which they want to carry out themselves.

3. Tasks of men and women in the community helps the group identify who would be able to undertake additional tasks to introduce the changes necessary to prevent diarrhoeal disease.

After completing these activities, the group members should have identified various ways to prevent diarrhoea in the community.
