Hygiene programming includes specific messaging and information sharing, in addition to considering who is targeted and how beneficiaries are equipped and engaged. Example hygiene projects include: handwashing promotion, menstrual health management (MHM), media messaging strategies, general promotion or sensitization, community health worker activities, and non-food item distributions, like hygiene kits or soap distributions.
