Position based in MOZAMBIQUE
(Monapo District / Nampula Province)
CONTEXT
Inter Aide is a French NGO specialised in implementing development programmes for vulnerable families. The fields of action are access to water, hygiene and sanitation, agriculture, health and school support. The programmes are implemented in rural areas, often isolated, combining high intensity of needs and high population density, and where the context is sufficiently stable to develop actions favouring the autonomy of the beneficiary populations. Inter Aide is currently active in 6 countries (Mozambique, Malawi, Ethiopia, Madagascar, Sierra Leone, Haiti) and activities are starting in Guinea.
The actions were initiated in Mozambique in 2004. 5 programmes are currently being implemented in Nampula Province, in the north of the country: 2 community health programmes (in the Districts of Memba and Monapo), 2 water-hygiene-sanitation programmes (in the same Districts of Memba and Monapo), 1 programme for the development of water point maintenance services currently being implemented in 4 Districts (Memba, Nacala-a-Velha, Mossuril and Monapo)
In Monapo District, WASH activities were first conducted within the framework of the area’s community health programme, and then within the framework of a specific WASH project initiated in early 2020 (the Project Manager arrived in Monapo in January 2020). Although recent, the WASH programme is now well structured with an operational team in place, and in 2021 it will have its second campaign to support rural communities and build facilities (water points and latrines). It is based on four main axes:
- Training of rural communities in good hygiene and sanitation practices;
- Improving access to sanitation for families: construction of family latrines;
- Improving access to drinking water for rural communities: construction of protected water points (boreholes and wells);
- Strengthening the capacities of community and institutional structures to support families and ensure the monitoring and maintenance of the works built.
The current objective is to continue defining action strategies and developing activities to meet the important needs of the area, in collaboration with the community health and water point maintenance projects.
