On the ground<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Lack of primary access to water, sanitation, and hygiene in 39% of Brazilian schools.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In Brazil, the 2020 School Census pointed to the lack of access to drinking water and sanitation in many schools as one of the main problems in the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The WHO\/UNICEF Joint Monitoring Program (JMP) measuring access to access to essential water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) services estimates that 39% of schools in Brazil do not have basic hygiene services, which means that they do not have functional sinks, water or soap for handwashing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The lack of WASH services disproportionately affects women and girls. In addition, the lack of Menstrual Health and Hygiene (MHH) services in schools contributes to girls skipping and dropping out of school, reducing girls’ opportunities, employability, and health.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In detail<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The main actions of the project are: <\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. The choice of the beneficiary schools.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  2. The purchase and distribution of family and school hygiene kits, hand washing stations, or gel alcohol dispensers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  3. Establishing training school teams in water, sanitation, hygiene, and infection control.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  4. The promotion of a communication campaign to change the behavior of the school community.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    The main components of the project are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      \n
    1. Installation of handwashing points in places without adequate access to water.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    2. Donation of hygiene and cleaning products.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    3. Training education professionals for new health habits and infection control.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
    4. An awareness campaign for children and their caregivers.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      All interventions are based on in-depth analysis and consultation with the beneficiary populations, national authorities, and local leaders in the intervention area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Perspectivas de sostenibilidad<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      El programa est\u00e1 integrado en el Selo, una iniciativa de UNICEF para incentivar y reconocer avances reales y positivos en la promoci\u00f3n, realizaci\u00f3n y garant\u00eda de los derechos de los ni\u00f1os y adolescentes en municipios de la regi\u00f3n semi\u00e1rida y de la Amazonia Legal brasile\u00f1a. El Selo establece un mecanismo de coordinaci\u00f3n municipal que involucra salud, educaci\u00f3n y protecci\u00f3n social.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      A trav\u00e9s de la generaci\u00f3n de evidencia, abogamos por que el gobierno comprometa recursos para la ampliaci\u00f3n.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Community participation is always present throughout the project cycle, from the diagnosis to the construction of the water stations and the evaluation of the impact on people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Hygiene promotion materials will be written in the beneficiary populations’ languages and accessible to people with different levels of training and education.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Prospects for sustainability<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

      The program is part of Selo, a UNICEF initiative to encourage and recognize real and positive progress in promoting, realizing, and guaranteeing the rights of children and adolescents in municipalities of the semi-arid region and the Brazilian Legal Amazon. The Selo establishes a municipal coordination mechanism that involves health, education, and social protection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      Through the generation of evidence, it will be advocated that the government commit resources for expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      In the project’s development, we will collaborate closely with the state and municipal coordination committees of the WASH sector, identify synergies and priorities, and coordinate with other key industries such as health and education. In addition, the WASH sector will present programmatic solutions to be scaled up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

      In addition, given the high degree of participation of the local population and partners, the impact of the intervention is more significant, giving greater ownership of it and producing a change in behavior and habits.<\/p>\n\n\n","protected":false},"featured_media":1774,"template":"","class_list":["post-1773","waw_project","type-waw_project","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nWater, sanitation, and hygiene in schools in Caucaia, Cear\u00e1, in the semi-arid region of Brazil -
