Coordinator for awareness campaign (Independent/ Body)

Project: Improvement of Development Process and Local Governance in the Municipality of Tripoli

I. Introduction

The Municipality of Tripoli received on the 15th of January 2016 a grant from the European Union (EU) to realize the project” Improvement of Development Process and Local Governance in the Municipality of Tripoli” over a period extending to 48 months that included 2 extension periods of 6 months each. The overall objective of the project is to improve the institutional and operational contribution to governance and development process in the Municipality of Tripoli. The Specific objectives of the project are to improve access in Bab El Tabbane, Jabal Mohsen and El Ghouraba to basic and adequate social services on a sustainable basis. All three communities will benefit from a positive impact on different levels especially on Health, Education, Job Creation and awareness levels. Five Expected results derive from the project.

II. The project

The project derives from four basic facts advanced by the Municipality of Tripoli:

  1. The local authority and civil society are in need for capacity building,
  2. Health is a fundamental human right and should be available to all people regardless of gender, social class, ethnicity and age,
  3. Job opportunities are very limited due to the deficiency of educational skills,
  4. Recreational activities allowing the cohesion of the dissimilar zones allow a better synergy.

The project aims at enhancing the Municipality of Tripoli's capacity to effectively deliver public services and in particular, responding to specific health problems affecting the population of the targeted area  like: 1) anemia, scabies and lice because of lack of hygiene; 2) diarrhea, malnutrition and typhoid due to water and vegetables pollution; 3) scoliosis due to high humidity levels; 4) flu because of lack of regular medical consultancies and because the near governmental hospital has no capacity to receive the enormous demand of consultations and health services. No need to mention here that some local NGOs are providing medical services to the patients, but mainly based on availability of services and sometimes based on political affiliations.

Ten Heath care centers operating in the project area were equipped and furnished based on a realized assessment.

In addition, the project consists in conducting an awareness campaign in close collaboration with the existing healthcare centers and active participation of the existing schools in the targeted areas to promote the concept of hygiene in the deprived areas and disseminate a new strategy to tackle the problem of overcrowding of solid waste raised recently at national level, by sorting the waste from the households. The women will be involved in this approach as they are the main target and owner of this strategy. The health care centers as well as the community center will be the platform to disseminate the information, knowledge and necessary tools to address that issue. Also, Awareness campaigns in health care and of drugs addiction should be implemented in coordination with the Ministry of Social Affairs and Ministry of Public Health.

An awareness campaign was realized in 18 public schools of the project area on different components: sorting from the source, personal hygiene and drugs. Awareness facilitators were trained on conducting awareness campaign and activities on sorting from the source and personal hygiene depending on the school levels. They realized the awareness in cooperation with the health supervisors of schools. Different tools were used during the awareness adapting to the age of students. More than 130 containers for recyclables will be distributed by the municipality of Tripoli in cooperation with UCF among the involved schools in order to collect the recyclables separately and to minimize the number of recyclables reaching the landfill. Moreover, hygienic kits will be distributed among the students to emphasize them on the importance of a proper hygiene. The awareness campaign ended by a closing ceremony.

The Municipality of Tripoli plans to realize a second awareness campaign during the educational year 2019-2020.
