Water Sanitation and Hygiene in Somalia: ICAD Africa’s Contribution
– **Overview of WASH in Somalia**: Access to safe water is critically low, with only 52% of the population having access to a basic water supply.
(WASH)
High groundwater tables and salinity, limited perennial surface water resources, and a high rate of open defecation due to inadequate sanitation facilities are significant issues.
– **ICAD Africa’s Role**: As a key player in addressing these challenges, ICAD Africa’s initiatives are crucial for improving WASH outcomes in Somalia.
– **Sustainable Water Supply**: Efforts include providing sustainable water supply to communities, with a focus on emergency-affected populations.
WASH
Sanitation Facilities**: ICAD Africa works towards increasing access to basic sanitation facilities and promoting open defecation-free villages.
– **Hygiene Promotion**: Distribution of hygiene kits and conducting hygiene promotion activities are part of ICAD Africa’s strategy to improve hygiene practices.
– **Capacity Building**: Addressing capacity gaps in human resources, management systems, and accountability within the WASH sector is a priority.
– **Policy Framework**: Advocating for a harmonized and coordinated legal, regulatory, and policy framework is part of ICAD Africa’s commitment to long-term solutions.
– **Impact of Conflict and Drought**: ICAD Africa also addresses the WASH needs exacerbated by conflict and drought, which have led to unreliable water sources and exploitative pricing.
ICAD Africa’s comprehensive approach to improving water sanitation and hygiene in Somalia is a testament to their dedication to humanitarian aid and development. Their work not only addresses immediate needs but also aims to build resilience and sustainability in the face of ongoing challenges.
