World Health Organization ยท Jan 1, 1997. This manual is a description of the World Health Organization/UNDP/World Bank/Unicef initiative to find a better way of helping communities plan their own community water supply and sanitation projects. It explains how PHAST grew out of the SARAR methodology, developed by Lyra Srinivasan, and evolved into a participatory approach that would focus on water, sanitation, and hygiene concepts. It describes the field testing, the method's impact on communities around the world, and the lessons learned. It explains how to start, sustain, and expand the methodology within agencies. It is a companion volume to the PHAST Step-by-Step Guide that is written for facilitators and facilitator training. Other authors: Ron Sawyer, Lucy Clarke
