In
area of sustainable livelihoods ACORD is promoting increased access to
affordable water, sanitation and natural resources. Specific
interventions include water sanitation and hygiene in Mwanza which
contributed to increased participation of communities in planning for
reduction of water related diseases in urban and peri-urban. Increased
access to micro finance services, particularly to women and youth, led
to improved gender relations in communities at household level.
The change of
focus on HIV/AIDS interventions moved from activities on prevention,
mitigation and care to mainstreaming and networking broadened ACORD’s
engagement at local and national levels. The program played key role
in preparation of case study on mainstreaming on HIV/AIDS.
The
programming facilitates linkages and net working between the district
local CBOS and NGOs to national policy forum. The program has
recently completed the document and secured funding to start HIV/AIDS
intervention in Ngorongoro, in the remote and marginalized pastoralist
area in the country. |
