Community Engagement: Foster community engagement and participation in all program activities. Encourage active involvement of community members, including persons with disabilities, in decision-making processes and project implementation.
Partnership Building: Strengthen partnerships with local government agencies, NGOs, and other stakeholders involved in WASH initiatives. Collaborate with organizations such as UN-HABITAT through the United Nations Kigoma Joint Programme (UN KJP) to leverage resources and expertise.
Sustainability Planning: Develop sustainability plans to ensure the long-term impact of the program. This may include capacity building for local institutions, establishing community management structures, and promoting income-generating activities related to WASH.
