COSV ECHO PROJECT : AYOD COUNTY, JONGLEI STATE.
TARGET BENEFICIARIES: mainly illiterate people, men, women and children from different payams around Ayod and children from primary schools.
RESULT: Improvements in the hygiene and sanitation conditions of the direct beneficiaries is the core of the project. Along with the strengthened emergency response system, the initiative supports a more long term and sustainable development. This approach includes the implementation of a wide range of activities aiming at changing the behaviour of target population and at increasing the knowledge of hygiene and sanitation good practices to be
adopted to prevent communicable diseases.
ACTIVITY: An external communication expert will be contracted to produce a short video on good
health and hygiene practices. The video will be used as training tool, as well as to document
some of the activities conducted on the field. There will not be any distribution channel as
the video is a training material and it will be used during the awareness activities; the
estimated target audience is 10.000 people, the same target as health, nutrition, and
sanitation education sessions.
The video production is not a visibility activity but an educative tool which will be screened
during the education session and awareness activities, to be organised bi-monthly. The
support to the health school programme will be given by conducting education session to
teachers and parents of children in the primary school of Ayod payam, and - if security conditions will allow us- also in the two neighbour payams. Other education session will take place at community level, in churches, market, and PHCUs. The community workers will be of crucial support to mobilise people to take part into this sessions. Focus will be on topics such as: personal hygiene,
communicable diseases prevention, and breastfeeding.
VIDEO’S CONTENT: Educate the community on safe water chain (safe source, transport and storage). Emphasis that there should be different containers for fetching water and storage of drinking water. Target hand washing after visiting toilet, before eating, after handling children’s faeces and before preparing/serving food (hand washing with soap at key times). The scenes of hand washing practices should focus not only on the importance of hand washing itself, but on how hand washing should be done.
