of Reference for Community Based Environmental Health Promotion Program
(CBEHPP) consultancy
Background:
The
USAID/Twiyubake Program, also known as the Improved Services for Vulnerable
Populations (ISVP) program, is assisting 50,000 vulnerable households (250,000
children, youth, and adults) by (1) increasing th

e capacity of families and
communities to provide better care for vulnerable children, especially those
under age five; (2) improving household and community care and support
practices for vulnerable populations – especially children; and (3) increasing
access to education and social services for vulnerable populations. The program
is using a family-centered approach to increase resiliency and the program
approach includes three key areas of focus: Economic Strengthening; Improving
Care Practices and Linkages to Services.

Through
a range of community based WASH interventions targeting both WASH service
providers and communities, including Community-Based Environmental Health
Promotion Program (CBEHPP) including community mobilization and Strengthening
the existing WASH committees, Community Hygiene clubs (CHCs) in full ISVPs
sectors of nutrition districts and WASH education in remaining sectors of
nutrition districts and full ISVPs sectors on other Twiyubake districts. The
WASH program is working to improve knowledge, attitudes, and behaviors around
WASH in Twiyubake targeted districts. These improvements will, in turn,
contribute to improved hygiene outcomes including drinking safe water, using
improved covered latrines and hand washing among the program beneficiaries,
including children under 5 and pregnant and lactating mothers. This program
will contribute to reach the targets of 100% coverage for drinking water, hand
washing and proper sanitation. These are the targets set by the GoR in its WASH
strategic plan 2013/2014-2017/2018 and district plan to eliminate malnutrition
(DPEM), hence why these figures were included in WASH implementation strategy.
