have long started. Recently (September 2012) due to the floods occasioned by the over-flowing of the Niger River in Northern Benin, the project mobilized a team to the various communities; in particular Malanville and Karimama. The team held sensitization sessions with the communities on behavior change before, during and after flooding; adaptation mechanisms; and basic hygiene most especially boiling and filtering water before drinking.
Key terms of references have been cleared and the following contracts are about to be signed: (i) EIA of the drainage channels (P, AA, W2 and Wbis) and the Fifadji bridge; (ii) technical studies and supervio supervisory works for the construction of Fifadji bridge; (iii) sensitization and communication aspects of flooding and Disaster Risk Management; (iv) technical studies and supervisory works on the opening of a new cell and rehabilitation of the access road to the Ouesse landfill site; (v) sensitization of the Public on municipal wastes; (vi) environmental audit of the existing landfill cell and EIA of the access road to the landfill sites; and (vii) peer educators and community first responders in the municipalities.
