USAID IGA empowers a broadly inclusive set of nongovernmental actors to hold public officials accountable for better services by changing the incentives of officials at all levels of government to act in the best interests of the citizenry. IGA is implemented in five provinces – Kasai Central, Kasai Oriental, Lualaba, Haut Katanga, South Kivu – and the territory of Walikale. USAID IGA’s specific objectives are built around the interaction of the governance cycle as follows: Objective 1: Strengthen capacity of select government institutions to fulfill mandate; Objective 2: Target subnational entities to collaborate with citizens for more effective development; and Objective 3: Citizen demand for accountable, transparent, participatory services increased. At the beginning of this quarter, the Trafficking in Persons (TIP) sanctions were lifted, allowing USAID IGA to return to funding activities involving DRC government institutions. During this quarter, IGA’s contract SOW was also modified, permitting the project to extend its influence beyond the boundaries of the original target provinces and to provide assistance to decentralized territorial entities (ETDs) deemed by the USAID Mission to be strategic and of high importance. These ETDs included those receiving royalties from commercial mining companies and other ETDs in ebola-affected areas. Both these major USAID.GOV IGA QUARTERLY REPORT – Q1 FY2020 | 3 changes impacted implementation and required changes to the Annual Work Plan to reflect the changing priorities. Notable changes to the Annual Work Plan included identifying ETDs within mining areas to be added to IGA’s scope, along with the opening of an office in ebola-impacted Butembo, Nord Kivu. Other activities this period included developing a cadre of school government auditors to conduct audits in partner schools, and subsequently strengthening school financial management and making it more transparent. USAID IGA also provided assistance to a network of civil society organizations (CSOs) to enable them to produce a handbook for ETDs on how to plan and account for mining royalties. Additionally, the project assisted public facilities by introducing community scorecard activities resulting in the development of recovery plans for the facilities and strengthening their oversight committees (parents’ committees [COPA] and community health committees [CODESA]). This ultimately increased a sense of ownership by the community for the targeted institutions and their operations. IGA supported local CSOs by reinforcing their links with provincial CSOs and improving their capacity to represent the community. IGA also commenced its grants program with a Request for Applications (RFA) that was circulated to partner CSOs. During this quarter, IGA began collaborating with Barrick Gold Corporation, which has a large gold mine at Kibali, Haut Uele, to commence a training program for ETDs on managing mining royalties in February of 2020. This collaboration is a result of Barrick Gold Corporation expressing concern to USAID regarding the capacity of nearby ETDs to manage royalties from the mine. To begin, the IGA team provided a presentation on the management of mining royalties in Wanianga to the heads of six ETDs from the territories of Faradjie and Watsa and later visited Logo-Ogambi Chiefdom and the Kibali Sector. The ETD management teams all agreed they would benefit from IGA activities. Other project activities included a workshop in Wanianga Sector, Walikali to prepare a participatory budget for 2020. Priorities were education and water. Partner CSOs in Bipemba Commune, Mbuji Mayi, in collaboration with the Bourgmestre, held a popular accountability session on actions carried out by the ETD during the first nine months of 2019. This activity between the ETD and civil society was part of improved citizen involvement in the Commune’s management. Additionally, in Kasai Central, a workshop was conducted in Kabare Chiefdom to boost the staff’s financial management capacity. Audits were conducted in many primary schools during this quarter in Sud Kivu, Haut Katanga, and Kasai Oriental. IGA held a workshop on roles and responsibilities of COPA and COGES and school norms and standards in Lukonga, Kananga and Ndesha Communes, Kananga city. In Kolwezi, COPA elections were conducted thereby strengthening COPA’s ability to implement support and recovery plans. IGA presented a capacity building plan on the CODESA handbook in Katoka, Nganza, Kananga, and Lukonga and Communes, Kananga for staff members and their respective CODESAs. IGA conducted community scorecard workshops

    Health Action in Crises Highlights No 193 – 28 January to 3 February 2008 Each week, the World Health Organization Health Action in Crises in Geneva produces information highlights on critical health-related activities in countries where there are humanitarian crises. Drawing on the various WHO programmes, contributions cover activities from field and country offices and the support provided by WHO regional offices and headquarters. The mandate of the WHO departments specifically concerned with Emergency and Humanitarian Action in Crises is to increase the effectiveness of the WHO contribution to crisis preparedness and response, transition and recovery. This note, which is not exhaustive, is designed for internal use and does not reflect any official position of the WHO Secretariat. CHAD Assessments and Events • Fighting is ongoing in Ndjamena. Refugees are crossing into adjacent Cameroon. All UN non-essential staff have been evacuated. • In Abeche, the situation is calm but very tense and all non-essential staff are ready for evacuation. Adre is reportedly under attack. • Overall, 47 cases of meningitis and four deaths were notified between 8 October and 27 January. The latest case was reported last week in Farchana camp near Adré. So far, no district has reached the epidemic threshold. Case confirmation remains a problem as lumbar punctures are not systematic. • Since 1 January, 1300 cases of acute respiratory syndrome have been reported in the east. The number of cases notified in Oure Cassoni camp has risen from 162 between 14 and 20 January to 449 between 21 and 27 January. • From 1 December to 13 January, 73 cases of whooping cough were reported in the resident communities surrounding Gaga camp.

ENVISION is funded by the US Agency for International Development under cooperative agreement No. AID-OAA-A-11-00048. The period of performance for ENVISION is September 30, 2011, through September 30, 2019. The author’s views expressed in this publication do not necessarily reflect the views of the US Agency for International Development or the United States Government. ENVISION Project Overview The US Agency for International Development (USAID)’s ENVISION project (2011–2019) is designed to support the vision of the World Health Organization (WHO) and its member states by targeting the control and elimination of seven neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), including lymphatic filariasis (LF), onchocerciasis (OV), schistosomiasis (SCH), three soil-transmitted helminths (STH; roundworm, whipworm, and hookworm), and trachoma. ENVISION’s goal is to strengthen NTD programming at global and country levels and support ministries of health (MOHs) to achieve their NTD control and elimination goals. At the global level, ENVISION—in close coordination and collaboration with WHO, USAID, and other stakeholders—contributes to several technical areas in support of global NTD control and elimination goals, including the following: • Drug and diagnostics procurement, where global donation programs are unavailable • Capacity strengthening • Management and implementation of ENVISION’s Technical Assistance Facility (TAF) • Disease mapping • NTD policy and technical guideline development • NTD monitoring and evaluation (M&E).

  • DR Congo Sit Rep – 03 March 2008 Cholera Epidemic in Katanga
    DR Congo Sit Rep – 03 March 2008 Cholera Epidemic in Katanga • Epicentre of the epidemic : Kikula Health Zone (Likasi town) • Increasing epidemic curve in five health zones. However, in Likasi and Lubumbashi, even though gathered data are not complete yet, the curve tends to decrease since mid-February. • Important malfunction in the public water supply network. • UNICEF/CERF funding to respond to the crisis. • A provincial committee to fight the cholera epidemic was created by decree from the Governor of Katanga. • Lack of coherence in the response from the various partners. Context • Since the end of September 2007, the province of Katanga is facing a cholera outbreak. On 17 December the epicentre of the epidemic moved to Likasi town (Kikula HZ), an important gateway to several urban centres. • In the course of weeks 1 to 7 this year, 5,483 cases of cholera have been declared in Katanga and 120 deaths occurred (2.18%). Since week 7, the epidemic curve is slowly decreasing in Lubumbashi and Likasi. • The fast propagation of the disease is mainly due to an important malfunction in the public water supply network. In Likasi, the network is only providing 3,000 cubic meters of water per day to the 650,000 inhabitants (the need is at 22,000 cubic meters of water per day). Due to a shortage of clean water, the population is forced to resort to watercourses thus speeding up the propagation. The sanitation situation remains concerning in Likasi town. • As of today the humanitarian emergency response has focused on Lubumbashi and Likasi. However propagation of the disease continues in five health zones (Fungurume, Kabondo-Dianda, Kapölowe, Manika and Panda) that have an increasing epidemic curve.
