The number of WASH-committee members targeted by the project totals 135. In addition, the project will also directly target community members in the nine villages through hygiene and sanitation education. It is estimated that at least one member from each household in the nine villages will be directly targeted through the training and awareness events, thereby totaling 15,590 persons.

Resume
Dansk Folkehjælp (Danish People’s Aid - DPA) og KAALO Aid & Development (KAALO) fra Garowe i Puntland, Somalia, har sammen udviklet projektet ‘Strengthening WASH Structures and Dialogue in nine villages in Puntland, Somalia’ (SWASD). Projektet løber over 2 år og har et samlet budget på 2.484.462 DKK. Formålet med projektet er at styrke lokalbefolkningen i ni landsbyer i Puntland ved at kapacitetsopbygge landbyernes vandkomiteer, således at disse bliver bedre til at organisere sig, vedligeholde vandinfrastruktur og undervise de øvrige landsbyboere indenfor WASH. Samtidig vil kapaciteten hos lokale beslutningstagere også blive styrket, så de har større forståelse for og evner til at forbedre de lokale vand- og sanitetsforhold. Vandkomiteerne og de lokale beslutningstagere vil desuden blive trænet i fortalervirksomhed med fokus på WASH, samt konfliktløsning, som er et vigtigt redskab i skrøbelige situationer.
