The consortium response to the crisis will include providing essential water supply, sanitation, and hygiene services, as well as emergency services to address urgent needs in rapid-onset and deteriorating situations. 

PAH and its partners aim to provide safe water access to 5,116 newly displaced households and host communities through building boreholes, water trucking, and facilities’ rehabilitation. Rising water prices and water scarcity, exacerbated by floods and an influx of internally displaced people make these services highly needed. The consortium members will rehabilitate and construct critical water infrastructure, including boreholes, shallow wells, and emergency tap stands. 

To improve sanitation in the temporary shelter sites for internally displaced persons, PAH and its partners will construct 160 emergency latrines, with some built through Cash-for-Work system to engage local communities and provide income for its members. Flood-proofing measures will be included for latrines in prone areas.  

The project also focuses on sustainable water systems and strengthening local water management. Additionally, 38 Community Hygiene Promoters, 11 Community Mobilizers, and 84 Environmental and Sanitation Committee members will lead hygiene campaigns and waste management, with hygiene promotion reaching at least 14,500 people through household visits.
