AWD TWG MTG #1 250116

The meeting summarized the following: 1. The Aquatic and Waterborne Diseases Technical Working Group in Rakhine State held their first meeting to review existing AWD preparedness and response plans and develop an improved document. 2. They discussed four existing documents that outline preparedness, response, hygiene kits, chlorination, and more. The group aims to consolidate information from these and address gaps like inclusion of villages. 3. Initial feedback identified needs such as clarifying the roles of WASH and health actors, defining outbreak triggers, consolidating documents, and adding timelines. The next meeting will involve reviewing the documents in detail.

3 Inital Discussion
 Currently have four existing documents to review:
o Rakhine WASH Cluster, AWD Preparedness and Response Plan- March
2015
 Focused on camps
 Hygiene kit contents
 Chlorination of drinking water
 Types of water containers
 Types of latrines
 Key Messages
 Report form example
 IEC materials
 Training Toolkit
o DFID Consortium AWD Contingency Plan
 Proposes: kits to affected people, bucket chlorination, environmental
sanitation and support to ORS points if there are no health actors
 Outlines stock required for 3600 kits (bucket, jery can, laundry soap,
HW soap, aquatabs)
 Chlorination kit
 Psycho-social support to affected people
o South Sudan WASH Cluster Cholera TWG Recommendations
 This was explained briefly, each section and short discussions were
held regarding the reason for each section of information
o South Sudan WASH Cluster Global Template
 Concise and more in depth
 Possible basis for the AWD TWG output
 Avoid creating a new document but to review the documents mentioned above
regarding:
o Strong content that we would like to include
o Information that we feel is missing
o New information
o Review of changed context in Rakhine state
o Review of changed capacities of existing actors
 Initial improvements suggested:
o All documents focus on camps, we need to ensure that villages are included
o Have a document with two sections:
 AWD Preparedness
 AWD Response
o Ensure that there is an agreed division of responsibility, in particular between
WASH and Health actors
o When is an outbreak or response triggered? What defines an outbreak? If
there are higher cases than normal of diarrhoea then what can we do?
o Ensure that there are less documents. For example, there is one for the
Consortium and one for the WASH Cluster, therefore which one do the
Consortium members follow?
o In the four documents there seems to be a timeline missing. Information
about which activities to do but no information about which order to do it in
o Significant need to specify who is responsible/ key people in clusters,
organisations and ministries

Next Meeting: Monday 1st February, 3pm- 5pm, UNICEF


Tasks: Read all the four documents and highlight strengths and weaknesses
Bring any resources that have been useful at organisational level
