Healthy Wetlands for the Cranes and People of Rukiga, Uganda

Rukiga’s wetlands are under increasing pressures from a growing human population needing farmland. The wetlands are vital for humans (for food and water security, and preventing flooding), and Uganda’s national bird, the endangered Grey Crowned Crane (for nesting habitat). The people living around the wetlands understand the connections between human and environmental health and are passionate defenders of the cranes. The Margaret Pyke Trust, Rugarama Hospital, and the International Crane Foundation in partnership with the Endangered Wildlife Trust, are working with the local communities to empower them to conserve wetlands, benefitting not only their own health and wellbeing, but wetland health too.

              ,

              Already reviewed by the Ministry of Public Health and currently in pilot mode, the posters will soon be available in several Malagasy dialects including Betsimisaraka, Vezo, Sakalava-Vezo, Sakalava-Antakarana, Betsileo and Tanala. They show what communities should do to protect themselves and others from this coronavirus, with more illustrations than text to optimise everyone’s understanding. The messages align with those already promoted by the World Health Organization in Madagascar, and complement existing government tools that have been designed for use in higher literacy urban settings.

                ,

                This technical guide, intended for NGO members of the Madagascar PHE Network, suggests a variety of community-based actions that can be taken according to the needs and capabilities of each organisation. Concise yet rich in content, the guide includes an overview of key information relating COVID-19 and the pandemic response strategies of the PHE network. Then it offers a selection of actions relevant to all organisations, followed by more in-depth actions and guiding principles for PHE implementers. Actions include cross-training staff to mobilise communities, supporting positive behaviour change and social norms around preventative practices, and strengthening local community structures while seeking to mitigate potential impacts on livelihoods and ecosystems. The guide concludes with an encouragement to NGO members to track all of their initiatives relating to COVID-19 so that the network can capture the value of a holistic PHE approach in responding to this pandemic and share best practices as they emerge.
