Here, you will find a selection of the most important programming and planning frameworks or approaches. Each of the frameworks or approaches has a different focus; be it water, sanitation, hygiene or a combination of the three. Some focus more on behavioural change, such as the PHAST approach, some more on demand creation as the CLTS and others like the CLUES guides people through an integrated multi-sector and multi-actor process for planning environmental sanitation services. Which one serves your purpose best depends on your local situation, your focus and your preferences. Use the one that suits you best!
Planning and programming frameworks are the structural “backbones” of projects. They help you to plan a programme in such a way that you achieve the project/programme goals, they help you in deciding what to do when and in what way. Each of the frameworks or approaches has a different focus; be it water sanitation, hygiene or a combination of the three.
