  • Preventing the Spread of EVD in Liberia Through Community Engagement and Surveillance
    QUARTERLY REPORT Project Name: Preventing the spread of EVD in Liberia through Community Engagement and Surveillance Country: Liberia Agreement Number: AID-OFDA-G-15-00016 Reporting Period: December 2014 - March 2015 Contact Person: HQ: Sue Gloor, Program Officer Field: CARE Liberia Office OVERVIEW Provide a general overview of the projects activities and some of the highlights of implementation. This should not be more than 2 paragraphs. (200 words maximum) In 2014, West Africa recorded the highest number of Ebola cases since its inception in the 1970s. In October 2014 the increasing number of Ebola cases and deaths was a growing concern in Liberia, one of the three countries hard-hit by the 2014 Ebola Virus Disease (EVD) outbreak. Humanitarian organizations supported government initiatives through the establishment of Ebola Treatment Units (ETUs) and Community Care Centers (CCCs) by providing human resources, particularly healthcare workers and technical support in Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) as well as supporting with construction and management of these facilities. However, an increasingly important component of the overall Ebola response is social mobilization through community engagement with emphasis on behavior change with the aim to cut transmission rates. CARE engaged communities through local networks and leadership structures to influence the will of the people to participate in the Ebola response process. CARE coordinated with county and district health teams and trained 600 (male: 443 and female: 157) local leaders to create buy- in and support to the development and implementation of the Ebola response plan in coordination with the Ministry of Health & Social Welfare (MOHSW) and other humanitarian agencies.

  • Liberia Waterpoint Atlas
    Liberia Waterpoint Atlas Final Review Version 31.8.2011 Liberia WASH Consortium Please send comments to Maximilian Hirn: [email protected] EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Liberian Waterpoint Atlas is the result of a comprehensive mapping exercise carried out in 2011. Led by the Ministry of Public Works, all improved waterpoints of Liberia were surveyed – over 10,000 in total. This Atlas not only provides detailed maps of these, but also a systematic analysis of the collected data. The in-depth information has yielded insights that provide the empirical basis for investment planning and help formulate basic policy recommendations. Among the many aspects of Liberia’s waterpoint infrastructure described in this Atlas, five critical insights and associated recommendations stand out: Five Insights & Recommendations A clear case for increased investment: There are over 10,000 improved waterpoints in Liberia, of which just above 60% are fully functional. This is not enough. Over 800,000 Liberians are entirely uncovered, and over 2 million lack adequate access. More than 1,700 schools do not have an improved waterpoint. To ensure improved access for all Liberians and each school, another 10,000 points are needed. There is thus a clear empirical case for funding an initial 8,200 points as envisaged in the Sector Strategic Plan. Prioritize – lack of access is concentrated in a narrow corridor: More than 75% of Liberians without adequate access to improved water are concentrated in a narrow “corridor of need” around major roads and towns (see Map 4). Funding for communal waterpoints should thus be distributed between counties based on relative lack of access and then prioritized across districts along the corridor of highest need.
