Project overview
UNICEF uses the CERF funding to support the waste management systems to effectively collect and dispose of waste, reducing environmental contamination and minimizing the risk of infection disease transmission in the areas of the two ports and the international bus stop. This includes support to the water waste collection, separation, storage, transport, treatment and final disposal of wastewater. UNICEF supports availability of clean and adequate toilets or latrines, availability of desludging trucks and provides materials and equipment for toilets cleaning. The funding is used for 6 months to benefit an estimated 250,000 refugees, and an estimated 100,000 host community members with WASH engagement.
