In the initial phase the following activities like approval letters from government authorities (DPHO, DDC, and DAO) and signing of memorandum of understanding with Social Welfare Council (SWC) for implementing project activities in the five districts, and consultative meetings with government stakeholders were carried out. A baseline survey related to Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH), Mental Health and Psychosocial Support (MHPSS), Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) and Tuberculosis (TB) and other communicable diseases was also carried out in order to know the basic health situation in the earthquake affected areas.

The various activities of the project like MHPSS, WASH, MHM, Tuberculosis identification and others are targeted for health workers, health facilities operation and management committees, students and community people. During the six months working period, activities related to WASH and MHPSS were conducted, A three days orientation workshop on MHPSS was organized in all the project implemented districts in participation with district level staffs including District Public Health Officer (D(P)HO) and public health and other officers from DPHO including health post in-charge . A one day orientation workshop on MHPSS was also conducted for the Female Community Health Volunteers (FCHVs), HFOMC members and community leaders.

Health Facilities Operation and Management Committee members were oriented on WASH for two days and one day orientation was given on WASH for FCHVs and community leaders.\

Health camps with specialists like general physicians, obstetric and gynaecologist, orthopaedicians and a paediatrician were conducted for the community people of the 2 concerned districts.

Project Report, July-December, 2016

[14]

4. Outcome • Established strong coordination with government line agencies (MoH, DOHS, CRHD,

NHTC, DPHO, PHC, HP) from center to periphery level in project implemented districts.

• Improved knowledge of Health workers of all project implemented districts and VDCs on

Mental health problems and Psychosocial Support Services

• Improved knowledge of Health workers and HFOMC members on Water, Sanitation and

Hygiene of project implemented VDCs in Nuwakot, Makwanpur and Sindhupalchowk

• Increased access of health services through health camps to the IDPS and community people

of Sipaghat VDC and Bhaktapur municipality.

5. Challenges S.N. Challenges Addressed

1. Large sample size in baseline survey caused prolonged data collection in Bhaktapur Municipality which delayed implementation of the planned activities in five districts

The project activities were geared once the baseline survey was completed.

2. Unavailability of health workers in their working area caused delay in implementation in programmatic activities.

Frequent communication and coordination was done with Health Post In charge and other staffs to initiate the activities

3. Health workers in MHPSS orientations were from various levels with different levels of knowledge which stood as a challenge during the orientations.

Various energizer, group activities and presentations, questions and answers session, peer supporters were organized to improve understanding of the participants.
