Strengthen your capacity to create hygiene programs. HIP focused on promoting sustainable, at-scale improvements of three key hygiene practices in at least 2 countries and through selected, strategic activities. While the HIP project has ended, many of the activities started by HIP will continue under the USAID-funded WASHplus project.

Working at scale, HIP seeks to improve key hygiene practices by engaging multiple stakeholders, at different levels, using multiple interventions and focusing on all components of the hygiene improvement framework.
