WASH & DRR Project Coordinator – Warrap

NRC’s programmes in Warrap offer a holistic response, both emergency and early recovery, to address the needs of the high numbers of returnees received since October 2010, as well as IDPs having arrived into the area during the Abyei crisis, and vulnerable host communities. Activities cover Education, shelter, emergency response, information, counselling and legal assistance, Food Security and Livelihoods and a construction and WASH pilot. In Warrap, NRC is currently implementing an Emergency Preparedness and Response (EPR) project, which include activities in WASH and Disaster Risk Reduction (DRR). The WASH component will focus on essential rehabilitation of water points and latrines in the area, as prioritised by local government authorities and verified by NRC. A DRR pilot will focus on strengthening the flood resistance of homesteads and granaries, in conjunction with specific DRR awareness raising, to complement efforts made in increasing food security. Construction training targeting vulnerable communities, especially youth and returnees, will be integrated into all respective activities. Hygiene promotion, nutrition and sanitation awareness raising is a cross cutting approach.
