Myanmar: ACF & SDC Direct Action, WASH Emergency Response Northern Rakhine State

Project completed

The violence that took place on October 9 2016, and the ensuing insecurity across northern Rakhine State (nRS), resulted in the interruption of humanitarian services in the area. With this WASH emergency response, SDC-HA and Action Contre la Faim (ACF) will contribute to prevention and treatment of undernutrition through the upgrading of WASH infrastructure in Out-patient treatment programs (OTPs) and Stabilization Centers as well as communities, and reduce child and Pregnant and Lactating Women (PLW) undernutrition, mortality and morbidity. The project is implemented by ACF with technical and in-kind support from SDC-HA.
