Invitation:
Dear WASH professionals, Dear colleagues, 

The Swiss Agency for Development Cooperation's (SDC) water network in the MENA region ( "sub-RésEAU MENA ") is pleased to invite you to this webinar, which will give an introduction to WASH practitioners and decision-makers on how to design effective, evidence-based and population-tailored behaviour change activities using the RANAS approach. The question at the core of the approach is “How can people be motivated to adopt and maintain healthy and pro-environmental behaviours?”.  

In this webinar, key tools to systematically identify the most relevant incentives and barriers of the target behaviour into practical change interventions will be presented and illustrated through case-studies – two case-studies on handwashing from Lebanon and Palestine will be presented. Participants will have the opportunity to share their questions and comments with RANAS experts and practitioners. 
Followingthe webinar, participants will have the opportunity to register for a 4-day online course (3h per day) on the RANAS approach. While the original cost of the training is USD 500, there will be partial funding/sponsorship opportunities for participants who attended the introductory webinar on 26^th October.  Best regards, 

Pierre-Yves Pitteloud (SDC Jordan), Mufleh Alalaween (SDC Jordan), and Elodie Feijoo on behalf of SDC’s water network in the MENA region
