Tonj East County Minor renovation of County Health Department office in Rumabuth.
Tonj East county is one of the remote areas in South Sudan affected by perennial inter-communal violence that has rendered most parts of the county inhabitable. Climatic shocks and insecurity are the main drivers of vulnerability in an already remote county. COSEDA is the leading Health Sector Transformation Project partner in Tonj East County with UNICEF as the fund manager delivery primary health care services in all the corners on the county despite all the challenges faced. The County Health Department (CHD) office in Rumabuth is one of the key infrastructure installations that play home to all humanitarian actors operating within the county. COSEDA has managed to ensure there’s reliable power connection and internet connectivity at the office to ensure coordination efforts are possible between the CHD staff and implementing partners.
COSEDA with funding from UNICEF was able to do minor rehabilitation of the CHD office in Rumabuth that entailed installation of new ceiling, wielding of the windows, flooring, bat proofing the roof, new furniture and installation of translucent sheets to deter bats from inhabiting the office. These efforts have made coordination of activities from the CHD office easier, cost effective and conflict sensitive.
