PASSA draws upon the well-established practice of community action planning, and the participatory hygiene and sanitation transformation (PHAST) methodology used by many National Societies. With IFRC’s vulnerability and capacity assessment (VCA) to provide an overall analysis of a community’s needs and assets, PASSA is the participatory tool to comprehensively identify and safeguard against shelter and settlement risks.
This manual is for use by National Societies wishing to use PASSA in their programmes. There are different parts to the manual, and each part may be used as appropriate by senior National Society staff, shelter programme managers, branch staff and volunteers.
