Target benchmarks

408 persons with access to improved sanitation

The IDP (Internally Displaced People) camp was initially set up as a refugee camp, but as there is nowhere else to go the camp is transitioning to permanent status. As such it is in need of a permanent sanitation solution. The people affected will build and maintain the latrines themselves. Furthermore, training, education and awareness raising are also part of the project.
