Strengthening resilience of the conflict affected population via provision of water, hygiene and sanitation services in Kala-Balge  Geidam in the BAY States GOALPrime through this project will reach a total of 20,000 (30% female, 20% male, 30% girls amp 20% boys) conflict-affected individuals in Kala-Balge and Geidam LGAs of BAY state: out of which 60% will be IDPs in Host Communities and 40%  will be from camps. 5% of the total target will be people living with disabilities.

To break the target further, 10000 (30% female, 20% male, 30% girls amp 20% boys) have access to sufficient clean water as per sector standards in target LGAs

10000 Hygiene kits will be sourced from the WASH Common Pipeline and distributed to the target households/individuals in Kala-Balge and Geidam LGAs across the BAY States. . 50 Household latrines will be rehabilitated while 4 block latrines will be constructed in line with sector standard. Also, 1000 sanitation kits will be procured and distributed to target end users across the LGAs of implementation.
 
Also, through this project, GOALPrime will continue to maintain rehabilitated boreholes via the services of GPONs boreholes engineering team who will continuously service and replace damaged boreholes and waterpoint parts/tools. This approach is to ensure that there is no disruption of water supply across the target LGAs.

The Community-based Water Chlorinators (CBWCs) supported by this project will continuously engage in Water Point Chlorination (WPC) in line with best practices and standards as recommended by the Water Technical Group (WTG).

This project will also support the operations of the GPON’s Water Testing Lab for continuous testing and monitoring of the chemical parameter and bacteriological contamination of water samples from target LGAs and partners from other LGAs referred by the WASH sector to assure continuous quality and safety of the water accessed by beneficiaries across LGAs of implementation.

GOALPrime will produce awareness-raising products. Animations, Illustrations, and creative visual products will be produced in the GOALPrime Humanity Studio (GHS) for all WASH partners via the WASH Common Pipeline. At least twelve (24) packages will be produced. This project will also provide support for the procurement of materials to produce 17,000 IEC materials at the GPON Humanity Press (GHP) which will be made available to partners via the WASH common pipeline for the commemoration of significant WASH-related events. The IEC Materials to be produced will also include the Cholera Flip Chats which will be distributed to partners through the WASH common pipeline.

GOALPrime with the support of UNICEF is currently responding in Mafa to Rehabilitate 2 boreholes, distribute NFIs to 350HH, and rehabilitate and construct sanitation facilities via a three-month HPD which ends in October. Rapid assessment by GOALPrime in target locations shows overwhelming increase in WASH needs hence, this project is designed to complement and build on the gains of the GPON/UNICEF WASH response in Mafa as well as scale up to underserved communities in Kala-Balge, Geidam and Yola South LGAs across the BAY States.

GPON shall be intentional about protection mainstreaming by ensuring that beneficiaries are protected from all forms of sexual exploitation and abuse (SEA) amp GBV. GPON team will also ensure that our approaches do not impact negatively on the environment.
