Chair Person & Co-Chair Person

• The Chairperson warmly welcomed members to the meeting. She proceeded by saying that she was delighted to be in the midst of stakeholders who were determined to better the lives and living conditions of Borno citizens, particularly children and women. Though she was attending the meeting for the first time since assumption in office, but noted that the meeting is a unique one since it is specifically focusing on the areas of WASH. She implored WASH stakeholders to ensure effective coordination and application of standards while rendering humanitarian services. She further shared her experience during one of her official working visit paid to IDPs camps that there are still gaps in the areas of WASH, most especially with regards to poor hygiene practices amongst IDPs. She therefore, stressed the need for increased hygiene awareness creation on the dangers of open defecation and importance of personal hygiene practices to prevent cholera and diarrheal incidences. Also, notable amongst the problems she observed is overcrowding in the IDPs camps leading to overstretch of available WASH facilities and open defecation practice. Open defecation raises security and dignity issues, particularly for girls and women, and health issues for entire communities. She called closer working relationship with BOSEPA in the areas of solid waste disposal, drainage and vector control in order to make the camps healthy and friendly for living. She called for understanding with the IDPs given the background of where they are coming from which makes adapting to the new facilities difficult especially on hygiene practice and attitudinal change which may take a longer time. She requested that partners consider support to rehabilitate a large public borehole located between Dalori and Kofa IDPs camps be rehabilitated to serve both camps, Konduga Town and the adjourning villages. The promised to facilitate participation of a high level SEMA official at the subsequent WiE working group meeting.

• To create heightened awareness on the dangers cholera and importance of personal hygiene in camps and communities hosting IDPs.

• WASH partners to work closely with BOSEPA in the areas of solid waste disposal, drainage and vector control in order to make camps healthy and friendly for living.
