Cabo Delgado province prioritizes prevention of COVID-19 in communities welcoming IDPs
Cariaco, one of the communities of the District of Pemba which has welcomed IDPs from Quissanga, Macomia and Muidumbe, held a prevention pf COVID-19 session on 11 April, 2020, which culminated with the distribution of 300 dignity kits for women and girls, after a brief session on GBV prevention and available referral mechanisms.
As a standard procedure technicians from the Provincial Directorates of Gender, Children, and Social Affairs and Health and UNFPA , provided the following materials for the volunteers: buckets, soap, water, gloves, masks, disinfectant liquid, Beneficiary Registration Sheets and delivery slips.
With 52,000 inhabitants, Cariaco is the most populous neighbourhood in the City of Pemba, and has received close to 1500 IDPs, about 200 of which are teenagers. The IDPs are integrated into 7 Neighborhood Units.
Prevention and information programs on SRH and Adolescent Friendly Services should continue to be a priority in the neighbourhoods of Pemba, as the reality of the female IDPs is very challenging as they are exposed to vulnerabilities.
