National Water Hygiene Sanitation Action Committee (CNAEHA), Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC)



 

 

 

 



 

**In Kinshasa, the capital of the Democratic Republic of Congo, the multi-year, multi-sectoral plan to combat cholera is continuing. A reflection is being carried out within the framework of the renewal of the plan with the constitution of workshops and an international conference in preparation.**



 

 

 



The Veolia Foundation has been involved for many years in the fight against cholera in the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Recurrently affected by waterborne epidemics, the country has adopted a multisectoral strategic plan for the elimination of cholera (PMSEC).

This programme is supported by the National Water Hygiene Sanitation Action Committee (CNAEHA), a structure attached to the DRC's Ministry of Planning, which coordinates inter-ministerial actions in the field of water, hygiene and sanitation.

In order to renew the PMSEC, the Committee is engaged in a major evaluation process, supported by the Veolia Foundation. Workshops are being set up in the affected provinces to create health surveillance databases on cholera and water-related diseases, disseminate these data and publish epidemiological bulletins.

A feedback process will then take place, leading to the organisation of an international conference in Kinshasa on this major public health issue.
