by Asian Development Bank (Author)

This practical manual sets out guidance and resources for providing training to sanitation and waste workers to help protect their health, hygiene, safety, and dignity.

The manual draws on field studies and a pilot program in Nepal but can be adapted to other contexts. It outlines training course modules, covers areas including disease transmission, personal protective equipment, and relevant laws, and shows why trainers need to address gender and social inclusion issues. The manual includes many practical resources for use in training sessions. It was developed in collaboration with the Government of Nepal.
