STRENGTHENING COMMUNITY HEALTH THROUGH MOBILIZATION AND CAPACITY BUILDING
Network for Community AIDS and Relief Organization (NetCARE) conducted a community mobilization and capacity-building session at Central Primary School IDP Camp, Damboa, focused on Integrated Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH), Immunization, and Environmental Sanitation.
The engagement brought together adolescents, caregivers, and community members to strengthen knowledge, promote positive health-seeking behaviours, and encourage community ownership of key health and sanitation practices.
Key areas addressed included:
🔹 Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH): Promoting access to accurate information and encouraging adolescents to make informed and responsible health decisions.
🔹 Immunization: Raising awareness on the importance of routine immunization and timely access to essential vaccines, particularly for children and other vulnerable populations.
🔹 Environmental Sanitation: Promoting improved hygiene, cleanliness, proper waste management, and community-led actions to reduce health risks within the IDP community.
Through this intervention, NetCARE continues to strengthen community resilience by equipping vulnerable populations with the knowledge and capacity needed to protect their health and well-being.
We remain committed to working alongside communities and relevant stakeholders to advance inclusive, accessible, and sustainable health interventions for vulnerable populations in conflict-affected communities.
Together, we can build healthier, safer, and more resilient communities.
