Sudan Project Notice - Integrated Responses For Communities Needs Affected By Dangling Syndrome In South Sudan


Project Notice

PNR 46297
Project Name Integrated responses for communities needs affected by dangling syndrome in South Sudan
Project Detail The specific objective of the project is therefore the response to the specific health and food safety needs of people suffering from epilepsy and nodding syndrome through an integrated and multisectoral action, aimed at strengthening their resilience and that of their communities. curative, however, is only one of four dimensions on which the project intervenes. In fact, rural communities in South Sudan attribute false myths to epileptic forms that cause stigmatization, which in turn results in the isolation of children with epilepsy / NS from society. The project then stimulates the protagonism of the communities to change the negative paradigm on epilepsy and NS in favor of the inclusiveness of the affected people, favoring the emergence of cases and taking charge of the same by the services. With a view to future sustainability and inclusion, the project envisages actions to promote the improvement of the food safety conditions of families with children with epilepsy / NS in care, together with the strengthening of their livelihood capacities. Again, in the context of sustainability, the project intervenes to promote the absorption of integrated approaches to the epidemiological problem of epilepsy / NS in the former Western Equatoria through the generation of regular information on the epidemiological trend in the target areas and support moments of technical discussion with the main national and global stakeholders within the national Task Force for Neglected Tropical Diseases.
