Achievements thus far in the improving hygiene for healthier lives project focused on the procurement of essential water treatment supplies and initial community mobilization. RI has convened key stakeholders, including local and district authorities, who are prepared to facilitate project implementation and community education. RI has been careful to engage both the Governor and Mayor (North Galkayo) and the District Commissioner (South Galkayo) so as not to exclude or exacerbate existing clan tensions. Although the community is aware of and ready for this project, more sensitivity and mobilization is required – in particular for IDP communities.
During the reporting period (September - December 2007), RI Headquarters-based Senior Program Officer was in-country to manage and oversee the Somalia program, as well as engage regional and local authorities and stakeholders to ensure commencement of community sensitization / mobilization.
