Training about wash and hygiene for villagers
Wash specialist of the project explaining to children how to clean properly hands and face with soap in Ruvoz village, Boki Rahimzoda jamoat.
The project “Disaster Resilient Communities: A Watershed - Based Approach To Integrated Disaster Risk Management”, co-financed by ECHO (DIPECHO VIII) (May 2014 – September 2015) is a joint initiative of the German NGO Welthungerhilfe and Mercy Corps (MCS-UK). It aims for a reduction of the human and economic toll caused by natural disasters through resilient communities, a prepared government and partnerships with the private sector.
The action takes place in the Rasht valley, a mountainous region in Central Tajikistan. In a country generally rife with natural hazards, the area stands out for its high disaster incidence. This new initiative expands its scope to the watershed level, allowing to tackle collective hazards in a more structured manner than with a single village approach. With and through local partners from civil society and government, the project intervenes at the micro-, meso and macro levels.
Apart from traditional risk management measures, innovative approaches such as Child to Child DRR training, GSM based early warning, partnerships with the private sector and biostructural engineering will come to bear.
