kept in a structured way and are accessible • Guide the Project Task Team through all phases of a SafiSan Project• Ensure that everybody (all stakeholders) have access to the same

information (empowerment)• Provide training to all stakeholders• Ensure that all stakeholders can make a meaningful and rewarding

contribution to the SafiSan Project• Ensure that important mainstreaming activities are not overlooked • Ensure through clear procedures and guidelines transparency and

accountability

1. Which phase of the SafiSan Project are you in? Proposal preparation? Do you need to collect data? Are you ready to start implementing your Project? This will determine the relevant Toolkit Module you should use

2. If you are in Module 3 (Project Implementation) we advise you to use the Activity CARDS and the template for the Detailed Project Work Plan

The SafiSan Toolkit: An on-going project in itself

At the WSTF we believe that the SafiSan Toolkit is a dynamic instrument:• New ideas should find their way into the Toolkit• Tools that perform below expectations should be improved or replaced ____________

At WSTF we are continuously working on improving our support products You are encouraged to give us feedback; your suggestions, criticism, etc. If you have an idea (e.g. for a new tool) work on it and let us know In recent year WSPs, Field Monitors, residents (e.g. through customer-aided

design)and many others have contributed to the improvement of the WSTF support products

The SafiSan Toolkit; Not cast in stone
