UNICEF’s response in WASH was targeting 840,000 people ( both camps and communities) including children and women, in the 14 most severely affected districts with critical WASH interventions and information that will prevent child illness, especially diarrhoea. This includes supplying people with safe water of appropriate quality for drinking, cooking and personal hygiene, providing access to adequate sanitation and hand washing facilities, as well as providing hygiene kits and hygiene education through interpersonal communication. UNICEF is working closely with the Government through the Department of
Water Supply and Sewage and with over 15 implementing partners to support WASH needs of the affected population while also strengthening coordinated response and recovery works through WASH Cluster coordination at a national and subnational level.
UNICEF has developed a contingency plan for risks associated with the monsoon and Cholera in 14 earthquake-affected districts and other vulnerable areas of Nepal. UNICEF together with the WASH Cluster and National WASH Coordination Committee will continue to provide support to the affected communities for recovery and reconstruction through the support on resilient and sustainable WASH.
