Integrated Nutrition and WASH response for affected populations in Tawilla in North Darfur The project is designed according to the SHF 2017 allocation strategy paper. The overall objective of the project is to contribute to the reduction of morbidity and mortality rates among the newly displaced people, people displaced for many years and other vulnerable host communities. This will be achieved by providing integrated live saving nutrition and WASH interventions in 4 locations in Tawilla locality. The total number of beneficiaries is 46,283 among of which 22,642 are adults (13,045 women, 9,597 men) and 23,641 are children (12,458 girls, 11,183 boys). Of these children 9,257 are under 5 years (4,721 girls, 4,536 boys). The project will provide an integrated package of nutrition and WASH interventions for the IDPs and affected populations in four locations in Tawila New Camp (Purgu - Rwanda B), Dali, Daba Naira and Tabit). The WASH and nutrition interventions will be at the health facility/nutrition center and community levels. The nutrition interventions are designed to contribute to the Nutrition Sector Objectives by improving access and coverage by treating acute malnutrition and reducing malnutrition rates. The project will provide treatment for boys and girls under 5 years and Pregnant and Lactating Women (PLW) with acute malnutrition. The project will build the capacity of local health authorities, caretakers and communities to prevent malnutrition. The nutrition interventions will increase the access and utilization of integrated quality CMAM services. This in addition to improved knowledge and practices for prevention of malnutrition among boys and girls aged 6-59 months and women using appropriate Social and Behavior Change Communication (SBCC) strategies and promotion of proper Infant and Young Child Feeding (IYCF) practices. The proposed WASH interventions will contribute to the Sector Strategic Objective of providing lifesaving services by increasing the access to safe drinking water and safe sanitation as well as improving the hygiene knowledge, attitudes and practices to reduce health hazards and prevent WASH related diseases. The proposed WASH interventions aim to address critical needs in Tawilla, Dali, Tabit and Dabba Naira (Tawilla locality). Sanitation activities will focus on safe excreta disposal for IDPs through the construction of emergency HH latrines in addition to solid waste management through the provision of garbage collection tools and facilitate general cleaning campaigns. To ensure safe drinking water, testing will be conducted regularly at water sources. Hygiene promotion and dissemination of key hygiene messages will be carried out at outpatient departments of clinics, at nutrition centers, schools and Child Friendly Spaces (CFSs). The project will support the operations and maintenance cost of the water supply systems in Tawilla to ensure continuous supply of adequate and safe water supply. The project will ensure the collection of sex and age disaggregated data, provide gender sensitive interventions, ensure the involvement of the communities and the provision of a complaints and feedback system and maintain WASH facilities and safe disposal of waste in the clinics to reduce the negative impact on the environment.
