Fourteen years of civil war left Liberia with crumbling infrastructure and one of the weakest health systems in the world.
Background: The coronavirus disease (COVID-19) pandemic poses a grave threat to refugees and internally displaced persons (IDPs).
The project was implemented jointly by LWF and NCA.
Humanitarian agencies strive to provide sanitation facilities which are safe, accessible and afford users privacy and dignity.
Camps are places of refuge for people fleeing conflict and disaster, but they can be dangerous, especially for women and girls.
Diarrhea and acute respiratory infections account for nearly 30% of deaths among children displaced by humanitarian emergencies.
Appropriate and adequate sanitation solutions are crucial for the protection of human and environmental health in emergencies.
