WASH IN EMERGENCIES TRAINING

by Unknown  |  at  1:33 PM

Summary One of the core areas where World Vision focuses on is responding to emergencies as soon as they occur. It is an emerging reality that on a global dimension, disasters and humanitarian emergencies are increasing in magnitude and complexity. This presents a major challenge to NGOs that respond to these emergencies.
The World Vision East Africa Regional office comprises of operations in Kenya, Uganda, Tanzania, Rwanda, Ethiopia, Burundi, Somalia, Sudan and South Sudan. WASH is one of the most vibrant sectors where World Vision supports, with over 20 WASH practitioners spread across the national offices.
East Africa Region is equally characterized by outbreaks of emergencies ranging from floods, landslides, droughts, famine, AWDs, civil strife, etc that lead to massive loss of life, separation of families, displacement of people and destruction of livelihoods, homes and national infrastructure. The fragile nature of this working context demands that adequate knowledge and capacity is established and continuously strengthened to ensure speedy delivery of the necessary humanitarian aid to the disaster affected population.
WASH has always emerged as one of the most critical sectors that need immediate attention during first phase emergency responses.
