With the emergence of COVID-19, MOMODa
FOUNDATION has taken a couple of prompt initiatives like online &
offline awareness campaigns, providing open space handwashing facilities,
distributing liquid soaps, and managing relief operations among the
disadvantaged population. All these activities are continuing
since the beginning of 2020 with MOMODa's internal resources. This year, MOMODa FOUNDATION, in
collaboration with ADAB and WHO, is executing a COVID response project
titled "Supporting Engagement of the Civil Society for COVID-19
Response Activities" in different Wards in Dhaka South City Corporation
(ward numbers 16, 17 & 21). The overall objective of this project is
to develop awareness among the general citizen and engage local government
representatives in the process.   The specific objectives are: | |
1. Information internalization by the
vulnerable communities on the importance of proper use of masks, by changing
their behaviors.
2. Ensuring participation of and
engagement with relevant communities, especially vulnerable groups and
populations.
3. Mitigating barriers to implementation
and uptake of COVID health measures.
4. Ensuring effective feedback mechanisms
to ensure two-way communication between health/response authorities and
communities, the public, and stakeholders.
To combat COVID-19, we initiated campaigns
about social distancing, masks wearing, and the use of hand sanitizer.
A community-driven approach has been
followed where community members themselves assess constraints, opportunities,
and resources, discuss strategies and solutions, plan activities and monitor
their implementation.
MOMODa tried to engage government and NGO
frontline workers in this campaign. Community volunteers are also being connected to the campaign program.
The project will continue for up to 30
September 2021.
