How the project is structured
The project is intended to begin with community entry, technical coordination, baseline assessment and mapping of relevant services. Implementation then links health support with practical WASH and livelihood activities, followed by monitoring and learning.
Health and referral
Identify people who may need assessment or care and strengthen pathways to appropriate health services.
Self-care and dignity
Support appropriate self-care education and reduce stigma around chronic swelling and related disability.
WASH and environment
Address relevant hygiene, sanitation and environmental vulnerabilities identified through assessment.
Livelihood resilience
Connect affected and vulnerable households with appropriate agriculture and livelihood opportunities where feasible.
Technical caution
The website uses “chronic lymphedema / elephantiasis-like illness” as a clinical description and does not establish a specific underlying cause. Disease-specific interventions should be coordinated with the appropriate district and national technical authorities.
