Seven steps to community planning for the prevention of diarrhoeal disease

STEP 1	ACTIVITY	TOOL
1. Problem identification	1. Community stories 2. Health problems in our community	1. Unserialized posters 2. Nurse Tanaka

This step has two activities:

1. Community Stories is designed to help the group express important concerns and issues facing its community
2. Health problems in our community aims to focus discussion on health-related issues.

By the end of these two activities, the group should have identified the main issues facing its community and have decided if diarrhoea is a priority problem. It should also be interested in and willing to follow the process trough to the next step.
