PROJECT SU
MMARY
The project sit
e is approxima
tely 7 km sout
h of Nchalo tra
ding centre an
d 1 km from t
he houseof the
group village
headman Jom
bo. The projec
t was identifie
d to be the pri
ority forinfrast
ructure suppor
t to socio-
economic deve
lopment. One
of the top mos
t problems aff
ectingJombo c
ommunity esp
ecially during t
he occurrence
of floods in the
Lower Shire is
inadequacy of
evacuation she
lters. The exist
ing facilities lik
e tents cannot
accommodate
the number of
familiesor victi
ms within the t
argeted area.
The other obvi
ous challenge
about living in
tents whendis
placed is that t
here is limited
security.The m
ain objective o
f the project in
 the long term
is to address t
he impacts of f
looding throug
hthe constructi
on of communi
ty based evacu
ation centre. T
he evacuation
centre will hav
e oneevacuatio
n shelter, 1 kit
chen, four pit l
atrines, four b
athrooms and
one open grou
nd area. Thepr
oject will prom
ote education
standards, ens
ure sanitation
and protection
issues areenc
ouraged, and
promote youth
development t
hrough sports.
The project wi
ll target 8, 367
people. The to
tal budget of t
he project is $
37, 785.26 an
d 20% of the b
udget will be c
ontributedby t
he community.
