1.4a.11 Intermon Oxfam

The project will target the most vulnerable communities, including IDPs, returnees and the host community. In Raga county, basic WaSH facilities have been improved in the past two years but there is still need for more involvement of local actors in order to ensure sustainability. In Raga county, the project will mainly focus on strengthening and build capacities of Rural Water Department, Sanitation Department and community structures providing a strong link between them to ensure sustainable and accountable management of WaSH facilities and services. In Gogrial East County, there are acute needs for basic WaSH facilities and services. Sporadic tribal clashes, floods and droughts often result in emergency humanitarian situations. For that reason, the project will focus on improving access to safe water by construction and rehabilitation of boreholes and water points, and carry out regular water quality analysis in collaboration with the Rural Water Department and targeted communities. In Gogrial East county, the project will also aim at improving access to sanitation facilities by construction of school latrines and promotion of household latrines amongst the communities. The project will also prioritise hygiene promotion activities. Intermon Oxfam will mentor the RWD on computer skills, English language and water quality analysis among other necessary skills.
