Provision of Lean Season Essential Community Health Services for prevention and management of disease outbreaks, SRH and WaSH Services in selected communities of Yola South and Madagali LGAs ltpgtLESGO proposed to provide essential community health services that will prevent and manage disease outbreaks as well as reproductive health care services in collaboration with multisectoral lean season WaSH/protection services in the health facilities and communities within Yola South and Madagali LGAs. In alignment with the allocation objective “addressing the impact of food insecurity, malnutrition and risk of waterborne and other disease linked to the upcoming rainy season” the project will be implemented for six (6) months. This will help LESGO in reaching out to the most vulnerable populations that are going to be affected by the rainy season. ltbrgtLESGO has targeted a total of 45,000 individuals which is approximately 9,000 households in Madagali LGAs under the WaSH sector for the following sector-specific prioritized services/activities:ltbrgti.	Drinking water supply and safeguarding unprotected water points with free residual chlorine.ltbrgtii.	Excreta management and solid waste management including canal cleaning.ltbrgtiii.	Hygiene promotion focusing on SAM and AWD/cholera-affected households. The hygiene promotion will cover over 30,000 individuals with a direct target approach as well as a motorized campaign approach for indirect beneficiaries.ltbrgtiv.	Provision of clean quality water for drinking and other domestic purposes will be done through rehabilitation of 40 existing non-functional hand pump boreholes with the possibility of digging 10 new solarized ones and upgrading 10 old ones. Concerning the health needs of 29,226 people, the project will be addressing the sector-prioritized issues related to ltbrgtunder 5-year OPD consultations related to childhood illness, complicated SAM/MAM cases, AWD/Cholera cases, Malaria, and issues related to safe child deliveries as well as diseases outbreaks. There will be deployment of Mobile Medical Teams (MMTs) for community-based response, referral of MAM cases and other diseases to supported functioning health facilities, Risk Communication and Community Engagement (RCCE) with awareness and sensitization creation on diseases, SGBV and SRH will be prioritized. SRH services such as ANC, PNC, and LD will also be given adequate attention in the implementation of the proposed activities. ltbrgtEach LGA will be fortified with four (4) MMTs and two (2) RCCE teams in carrying out consultations and intervention in the communities affected by the rainy season and require timely and proactive intervention. LESGO will be supporting six (6) functioning and partially functioning health facilities across the selected LAGs with resources (human, drugs, training, supervision, etc.) to be able to respond to the sector-prioritized activities and smoothen the community-level referral of complicated cases from the communities. ltbrgtThe reproductive health of the vulnerable ones within the targeted location is of high priority to reduce morbidity and mortality among under 5-years old and maternal women. This calls for the use of delivery kits to address reproductive issues. Employing RCCE and motorized campaign with Public Address System will also be used in hygiene promotion, education, sensitization, and awareness creation to reduce morbidity and mortality that may have arisen from Cholera and Malaria, knowing fully well that Malaria is the leading cause of mortality during the rainy season. There will be empowerment to local community members and service providers by working through the existing systems and strengthening the system to take over to transition at the end of the project cycle. A higher target percentage will go to children and women about the need and target of the HNO/HRP 2024. Using this allocation to scale up response will help in the reduction of morbidity and mortality of malnourished women and children through the prevention and treatment of malaria, AWD/cholera, and other waterborne diseases.lt/pgtltpgtThe settlements, borehole locations, and facilities can be found under the document tap.ltbrgtlt/pgt
