The WASH Foundation’s WASH-in-Healthcare Facilities (WinHCF) program is designed to support UNICEF and the World Health Organization (WHO) in their efforts to train healthcare facility staff to include water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) in health plans, budgets, and operations. This staff training program provides learning materials, support, monitoring, and evaluation opportunities to healthcare facility staff members to strengthen their capacities. The goal is to train healthcare facility staff and management to integrate good WASH practices and education into annual health sector planning, budgeting, and programming. These integrations will enable healthcare facility staff members to deliver quality services and serve as peer trainers. This document is the trainer’s guide to achieving that.
