September 2020 - October 2021
The main objective of the project was to maintain an emergency response in nutrition in 11 health centers (FOSA) in the Health District (CS Seko, PS Tagbara, PS Zoubingui, PS Badjelockoto, CS CMEBI, HS Ippy, PS Ndakara, PS Apka, PS Ngoloemanda, PS Lambla, PS Lafollo) where nutritional surveys based on the SMART methodology carried out in 2020 had revealed a worrying nutritional situation in the Ouaka Prefecture, with an acute malnutrition rate (Global) MAG) estimated at 13.2%. People in these areas also have limited access to basic social services, and economic activity has slowed almost since fighting between the GANCs and FACAs in the pre- and post-election periods of 2020
The implementation of this project should certainly make it possible to maintain a response to the nutritional care needs of children and pregnant and breastfeeding women in order to enable them to have adequate access to basic health services. COHEB has intervened in the strategy of mobile clinics to bring care closer to the communities in difficult-to-reach, landlocked and/or remote areas. With this funding, COHEB intended to improve and guarantee, both at central level and at FOSA level, the quality of the inputs for better care of children? This was also a recommendation of the “Semi-Quantitative Evaluation of Access and Coverage (SQUEAC)” survey conducted in December 2019 to meet the standards.
The Ouaka prefecture is still heavily influenced by armed groups. With a reinforced presence of government armed forces since March 2021 in some localities, armed elements suspected of belonging to rebel groups regularly carry out sporadic attacks simply to provide supplies. For example, a COHEB team traveling to Bambari was attacked and robbed, impacting the movements.
Multidimensional strategies in carrying hope for a more united world where the Love of God is shared through actions amongst affected individuals and communities all over the world.
