Section 3: Situation Analysis Ebola Virus Disease (EVD), a deadly virus has spread rapidly in Liberia, Sierra Leone, Guinea, Nigeria and other parts of the world. The outbreak has killed nearly 1000 people this year. Nearly all of those deaths have been in Liberia, Sierra Leone and Guinea, where more than 1,700 cases have been reported, according to WHO. Ebola is world’s deadliest outbreak and WHO has declared it a global health emergency. "This is the biggest and most complex Ebola outbreak in history," Dr. Tom Frieden, director of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control (CDC)6 and Prevention, said. According to WHO, there is no cure to this deadly disease. The fruits bats are its natural carriers. Liberia is one of the worst affected countries in West Africa. The Government of Liberia has declared a national emergency7. All schools and places of entertainment have been closed down to contain the spread of virus. Liberian soldiers have set up blockades stopping people from western regions affected by the Ebola virus entering the capital city, Monrovia. UN agencies, Red Cross and Government Health systems are putting necessary systems to contain the spread of the virus. However there is lack of ‘inside out’, community response aimed towards prevention and better care.

Us has a responsibility to come alongside its church partners and provide necessary support in the form of prayers, technical and financial resources. Davidson Solanki, Us International Programme Manager, on a recent visit to Ghana8, spoke to the Church leaders from that country and others in the region, and they are deeply interested in a Church led, community oriented response to Ebola with assistance from Us. In the Diocese of Wiawso, Ghana, Bishop Abraham Ackah and his team, who are already implementing a health programme based on the Hands on Health approach through the SALT methodology (Stimulate, Appreciate, Listen, Transfer), are ready to help affected communities in the region.

6 Centre for Disease Control and Prevention, on 6th August 2014, raised the activation level of its Emergency Operations Centre to Level 1, the highest state of alert. It is the first time the agency has issued such an alert since the 2009 H1N1 influenza pandemic.

2 Need: Along with national and international health efforts, there is need for sustained prevention through community sensitization. UN agencies, Red Cross and Government Health structures are putting necessary systems to contain the spread of the virus. However what is lacking is local community response aimed towards prevention and better care. In Liberia, where the epidemic is putting a heavy burden on stretched medical resources, there is an urgent need for disposable surgical gloves, chorine and basic hygiene kits to safeguard against Ebola. The needs in Guinea and Sierra Leone are similar. The Anglican Diocese of Bo (ADB) is involved with local Government in responding to the crisis in Sierra Leone. According to Bishop Emmanuel, Bishop of Bo, they are in need of disinfectants and training support for their staff to create awareness and community response.

According to Bishop Emmanuel of Bo the Anglican Diocese of Bo (ADB) is facing many challenges at this critical moment of Ebola outbreak. The Diocese has 7 parishes, all are situated in the South and Eastern part of the country where the outbreak of Ebola is recording high death toll.

REASONS FOR THE OUTBREAK OF EBOLA IN SIERRA LEONE:  Delay in sending out the correct and proper education/sensitization messages on Ebola  The entry point messages about Ebola was wrong and people avoided the medical facilities and ran to the bushes where they perished  Government earlier handled the Ebola crisis with triviality and failed to summon a national consultative conference of all stakeholders to discuss in national interest the way forward; the matter became a political blame game and the people became more confused as to whom to trust.  Absolute denial and non acceptance of Ebola as a diseased condition because of the beliefs that Ebola signs and symptoms are similar to some tropical common illness of malaria, diarrhoea and dysentery etc.  Proactive preparation was not done by government in terms of providing equipment and logistics to equip health workers assigned to manage Ebola disease.

IMPACT OF EBOLA ON THE ADB CHURCH COMMUNITY: 1. Deaths - In terms of death, the church has suffered 9 deaths; 4 members from Kailahun, 2 members from Kenema, 2 members from Bo and 1 member from Moyamba Districts and there are more suspected cases. 2. Quarantined - Movement is now restricted in Kenema and Kailahun Districts, which is affecting trade and livelihood of the people, people in these Districts live on the day to day economy. That is, they go to the market to sell and then get money to purchase what they need for that day or go fishing, cut fire wood or charcoal, sell and buy basic household necessities. The quarantined pronouncement has deprived the people the opportunity of generating income for survival and therefore the people are experiencing hunger and starvation. 3. Empowerment - The church is praying to see the end to Ebola and is also preaching to its congregations the preventive methods as prescribed by health workers. But the church has not got the financial capacity to provide disinfectants (chlorine, detol, soap, tap-buckets, hand sanitizers, spirit, gloves etc) and some basic needs to church family members who have been squarely affected by the Ebola outbreak.

As per Bishop Emmanuel, the government of Sierra Leone has recognized ADB as partner in health related matters and has given the mandate to ADB to carry out awareness on Ebola prevention in 5 Districts of Bo, Kenema, Kailahun, Pujehun and Moyamba. The Ebola disease is undermining the

3 strong foundation of the community and church; therefore it is critically important for us and other organisations to support this initiative to save lives as restore human dignity through prayer and resources.

Churches in all the affected countries are well placed to offer such services as they have influence over their congregations. Churches lack facilitation skills and resources. Hence Us has decided to come alongside its church partners and provide necessary support in the form of prayers, technical and financial resources.

4 Section 4 Programme Overview

Introduction Church and Community Response to Ebola (CCRE) is an emergency response to the deadly Ebola Virus Disease. All the Dioceses in the region are directly or indirectly affected by the spread of this epidemic. The priority is to sensitise and educate congregations and communities to prevent the spread of the disease. Other focus will be to mobilise congregations and communities to care for their affected people. Churches are well placed to carry out this work as they have access to local communities and can disseminate right health messages through pulpits and other forums thus reduce misconceptions and anxiety. In Wiawso Diocese, Ghana the Hands on Health initiative is supported by Us with technical input of Affirm9, a consulting firm who specialises in Human Capacity development for Response (HCR) using SALT methodology. This approach is a vital tool in reaching communities and is part of the ongoing programmes run by the Diocese of Wiawso10. The programme is to respond to the threat of the spread of the Ebola virus in West Africa and to assist communities already affected by the disease.

There is growing fear of this disease and medical staffs are not always trusted by local people. Hence quite often people don’t always reveal they have sick relatives; this lead to the spread of the disease. Local customs for burials also contribute to further infections. Thus is an urgent need for health education and reassurance and the Church have the trust of local communities. In Wiawso, relations between health clinic staff and local communities have strengthened thanks to the SALT visits. Hence Us believes similar approach to Ebola will go long way in preventing spread of EVD and reduce tensions in the communities.

The root cause leading to this response is the Ebola international health emergency. Also as limited health resources are diverted to combat this disease, other illness such as malaria, TB, malnutrition and others are likely to be addressed to improve general wellbeing of the communities. It is hoped that this programme, alongside other health care initiatives led by the Anglican Church will go some way in reducing the incidence of the disease and providing care and spiritual support for those affected by Ebola.

Vision Churches and communities in West Africa are prepared, responding and taking ownership of their health with regard to Ebola Virus Disease (EVD)
