In response to the current COVID-19 pandemic situation, VIN conducted participatory behaviour change awareness and capacity building campaigns in Siddhicharan Municipality of Okhaldhunga and Tarakeshwor of Kathmandu districts from 23rd of June 2020 to till date.
A total of 64 campaigns had been conducted, a maximum of 3 campaigns per day with 25-30 participants in each session strictly following government COVID protocols. In total, 1911 households benifitted from the campaign. The team of VIN Nepal trained 27 women from Okhaldhunga in making liquid hand wash.
The general objective of the campaign was to make people aware on COVID-19 and build up their capacity to prevent the infection.
Most of the community representatives in Nepal did not have access to accurate information due to unreliable sources – people had been seen to follow harmful practices many times. Hence, the campaign was conducted to ensure healthy behaviour in preventing COVID 19. The community people were provided reliable information and true facts related to corona virus disease.
