How does the use of toolkits affect programme planning?
• Communication toolkits are designed after carefully examining the needs and constraints of the original project. Planners who are familiar with the recommended structure and the contents of the toolkits can use them with a great deal of flexibility. We could also suggest ways of adapting the toolkits to the needs of the field and the programme plan. • Generally, the toolkits are meant to be used with community groups. Group sizes range from 15 to 50 depending on the issue. Curricula of the toolkits are broken up into sessions; again, depending on the issue, each session takes between 45 minutes to 2 hours, and the number of sessions required range from 1 to 5. Example 1 : Using a single Watsan Kit over 1 year with 1 facilitator This toolkit is designed for use in a classroom with up to 50 students.
