Humanitarian leadership and coordination

The Crisis Management Team continued to meet daily under the leadership of the Ministry of Health with all concerned partners and with the chairs of the different working groups providing thematic updates. UNICEF continues to participate actively in coordination meetings at the national level and in Beni (operational headquarters) and co-leads the commissions on communication, WASH and psychosocial care. UNICEF is also active in the working groups for logistics and vaccination. A UNICEF security specialist is deployed in the field to support the security assessment and safety of the operations.

Beni and Butembo health zones are the most concerning areas for the response due to the high number of reported confirmed and probable cases. At the moment, UNICEF activities cover communication and prevention, WASH, and psychosocial care around five coordination hubs based in Beni, Butembo, Tchomia, and Mabalako Health Zone and one sub-coordination hub in Bunia city.

The coordination of UNICEF’s response is dynamic due to the identification of confirmed cases and the geographical extension of the epidemic to newly affected health zones. UNICEF coordinates Musienene, Katwa, Masereka, Vuhovi, Kalanguta, and Kyondo’s response from the sub-coordination group based in Butembo health zone.

Response Strategy

In support of the joint response plan, the UNICEF response strategy will continue to focus on communication, WASH, and psychosocial care, nutrition and a cross-cutting education response.

Risk communication, social mobilization and community engagement with the aim to (1) proactively engage with affected and at-risk communities, (2) provide timely and accurate health advice to encourage positive health seeking behaviors and (3) address community concerns and rumors. The strategy is implemented through 5 pillars that include (i) community engagement; (ii) promotion of preventive behaviors; (iii) responding to resistance; (iv) advocacy and capacity building of actors and (v) communication in support of ring vaccination, surveillance, safe and dignified burials, and Ebola treatment centers

The WASH strategy, as part of the Infection Prevention and Control (IPC), aims to stop the spread of the disease through the availability of 1) WASH in public and private health care facilities, as well as reinforcement of basic WASH services and awareness with traditional practitioners, which includes providing water and WASH kits, 2) hygiene promotion and the provision of WASH kits in schools, including handwashing station and soap/temperature check points, and 3) WASH in communities through mass outreach on hygiene promotion to vulnerable communities and the setup of handwashing stations/temperature control in strategic transit locations 4) joint supervision of health infrastructures to ensure quality and efficient sustainability of programs developed

The child protection and psycho-social support to EVD confirmed and suspect cases and their family members as well as contact families seeks to (1) provide psycho-social support; (2) establish or re-establish social and community networks and support systems; (3) provide social kits to EVD affected families (4) identify and provide appropriate care to orphans and unaccompanied children due to the Ebola epidemic. The key element of the strategy includes (i) psychosocial support for EVD confirm and suspect cases, including children, in the ETCs, psychosocial activities for children and their families; (ii) material assistance to affected families to better support children; (iii) facilitation of professions help to children and families with more severe psychological or social problems / needs; (iv) coordinate mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS); (vi) psycho-social assistance, appropriate care and research of long-term solution to orphans and unaccompanied children.

The nutrition component will focus on provision and pre-positioning of Ready for Use Therapeutic Food (RUTF), therapeutic milk and other drugs for systematic treatment of severe acute malnutrition (SAM) cases to the six health zones affected by Ebola or in situation of nutritional alert in North Kivu province. In addition, address young child and infant feeding practice that is impacted by the increasing number of women affected by the Ebola epidemic

The education sector strategy involve key EVD prevention measures on the school premises, include: (i) mapping of schools to identify its proximity with a confirmed case and the identification of schools in the affected health areas (ii) training of educational actors (students, teachers, inspectors, school administration agents, head of educational provinces, parents’ association) on Ebola prevention in schools including WASH in school, psychosocial support in classrooms and against discrimination, (iii) provision of infrared thermometers and handwashing kits in school clean water, soap, and capacity reinforcement on hygiene behaviors in schools, (iv) provision of school cabins for school entry checking (v) provision of specific documentation and protocol for prevention, guidance and management of suspected cases in school (vi) provision of key messages on Ebola prevention to families.(vii) close monitoring of effective use and implementation of the protocol of prevention of EVD in schools

Summary Analysis of Programme Response

Overview of the key elements in the response, with a special emphasis on UNICEF’s response in the affected health zones, is detailed below.

Communication and social mobilization (C4D)

Extending and reorganizing the communication team in Butembo was the week’s focus, in response to the geographical spread of the Ebola epidemic to the five neighboring Health Zones. The communication commission teams needed to quickly scale up their capacities and efficiency in implementing as activities through the hiring and training of local experts. During the reporting period, 103 additional local coordinators and social mobilizers were hired and enrolled to integrate the new field response teams (surveillance, vaccination, safe and dignified burials, infection prevention and control). In addition, a stronger emphasis and re-focus was placed on data management, documentation, and the use of a more empathetic approach to reinforce community dialogue.

Community mobilization

In Beni health zone, 553 alerts coming from 150 community chiefs through the community telephone alert system, were documented. In addition, open visiting hours and tours of ETCs are scheduled every Wednesday and Saturday for local community members, of which 276 leaders and influencers visited the centers this week. It is acknowledged that these visits continue to play a major role in communities accepting ETCs services when people show Ebola symptoms.

During the reporting period, 394,647 (73% coverage) at risk population were reached through community engagement and interpersonal communications, of which over 39,000 church goers in 181 churches received messages concerning SDBs and the credibility of Ebola Treatment Units (ETUs). In addition, 21 additional radio stations were engaged in spreading Ebola prevention messages in the affected health zones of Kayina, Ubero, Vuhovi and Alimongo.

During the reporting period, 1,073 influential leaders were reached through advocacy. 12 local influencers joined the Butembo communications commission, 91 local social mobilizers were recruited to supervise activities in Beni and Butembo health zones, and 311 youth leaders were trained and engaged in the fight against Ebola. Furthermore, 319 frontline workers (RECOs) were mobilized for the Ebola response, reaching 6,074 (78% coverage) RECOs since the beginning of the response. During the reporting period, 59 households received personalized house to address reluctance to vaccination, immediate referrals to treatment centers, or refusal to respect secure and dignified burial protocol, reaching a total of 617 transformed households since the beginning of the response.

In the area of Ebola preparedness to the neighboring provinces of North Kivu, a compilation of 22 radio programs, 7 songs, and 166 testimonials was packaged and shared with partner NGOs working in Sud Kivu, Tchopo, Maniema and Tanganika. UNICEF’s C4D survey team began the preparations to conduct the first KAP survey in Ituri province, with other neighboring provinces soon to follow.

Water, Hygiene and Sanitation (WASH)

During the reporting period, the intervention strategy for the WASH/IPC Commission was revised to better respond, monitor, and follow-up WASH/IPC activities in health centers. The revised strategy was validated by the commission and the implementation is ongoing.

UNICEF as co-lead of the WASH/IPC commission has committed to support the monitoring of Health Centers by providing qualified staff and its partners to be part of the monitoring teams. The teams will conduct bi-weekly follow-ups in the health centers evaluating the quality of service based on a pre-defined list of indicators agreed by the Prevention Commission and partners. In order to improve the quality of services provided and eliminate infections in Health Centers, a performance-based financing/payment system will be put in place as part of the revised strategy. Payment will be based on the scoring result of each IPC/WASH indicator. Follow-up will be done every two weeks, and payments increase as scores improve.

As of 11 November, four additional health facilities in the affected health zones in North Kivu province benefitted from essential WASH activities; these include the provision of handwashing points, briefing of staff on hygiene promotion, and disinfection, and the installation of chlorination points, reaching a total of 366 (100% coverage health facilities since the beginning of the response. Periodic follow-ups by respective partners in the health centers assures that all aspects of WASH package (handwashing, availability of chlorine) remain functional.

This week, UNICEF continued with the Community Engagement interventions in Beni, Butembo, Mangina and Tchomia health zones. The activities included training of staff in Health Centers on WASH/IPC and community briefings on Ebola Virus Disease (EVD).

As of 11 November, 866 (96% coverage) community sites (ports, market places, local restaurants, churches) out of the targeted 900 were provided with handwashing facilities for Ebola infection control in Beni, Mandima, Mabalako, Butembo and Tchomia health zones in partnership with Oxfam, Programme de Promotion des Soins de Sante Primaire (PPSSP), and Centre de Promotion Socio-Sanitaire (CEPROSSAN).

Private and public health posts are directly targeted by the current strategy, whereas traditional practitioners’ engagement will be reinforced under the new prevention approach.

Since the beginning of the response, a total of 856,432 (90% coverage) persons have gained access to safe water in the affected health zones, out of the targeted 952,946.

Key activities in the last seven days:

As of 11 November, 11,795 people benefited from drinking water treated through functional chlorination points, in Beni, Tchomia and Butembo health zones.

on the use of handwashing facilities and thermometers and Ebola prevention messages, reaching a total of 3,929 teachers (55% coverage) since the beginning of the response. UNICEF conducted follow-up visits targeting 68 schools which already received prevention kits to ensure that prevention protocol is well understood and implemented accordingly. During these visits, refresher briefing is organized in all the targeted schools. The follow-up shows that the handwashing devices and thermometers are properly used without any resistance or misunderstanding due to the implication of the schools’ directors and education authorities during briefing activities on EVD prevention and the distribution of handwashing kits in schools.

UNICEF supported the Nord Kivu II Provincial Ministry of Education in Ebola risk mapping of schools. A monitoring mechanism covering the seven3 targeted educational sub-provinces with confirmed cases is established to facilitate communication related to all EVD possible cases in schools between teachers, head of schools, inspectors, school administration agents, head of educational provinces and UNICEF. Two representatives of PROVED sit on the daily coordination of the response in Beni and Butembo to share the schools' information related to EVD with other stakeholders, including health actors. In addition, UNICEF supports the EPSP Nord Kivu II Provincial Education on the reopening of schools, training sessions targeting heads of schools, teachers and parents on Ebola including students’ enrollment and access to school, WASH in school, and psycho-social support.
