The National President of the Sierra Leone Red Cross Society, Rev. Christian Faiya, and the Secretary General, Mr. Kpawuru Sandy, embarked on a joint monitoring visit to the Kambia branch. Their main agenda was to assess the implementation of the CP3 project in the Kambia District.
Mr. Osman Justine Conteh, the National Manager for the CP3 project, provided insights into the project’s implementation. CP3, which stands for Community Epidemic, Pandemic, Preparedness Program, is being executed across three chiefdoms: Mambolo, Samu, and Tonko Limba. Each chiefdom has a team of community-based volunteers and field supervisors, with varying numbers based on their respective needs.
The primary role of these volunteers is to report on health occurrences, including human and animal health issues, within their communities. Mr. Conteh highlighted the possibility of extending the project until 2028, contingent upon the performance achieved during its implementation phase.
During their visit, the team engaged with project staff, volunteers, and community stakeholders to assess progress. They reviewed activities conducted, evaluated the impact on communities, and addressed challenges encountered during implementation.
Mr. Mohamed O. Conteh, the CP3 project supervisor for the Kambia branch, expressed satisfaction with the project’s effectiveness and positive outcomes for the communities. Notably, there has been an increase in awareness regarding disaster preparedness and response among community members.
The visit underscored the commitment of the Sierra Leone Red Cross Society to ensure the successful implementation of vital projects aimed at enhancing community resilience to epidemics and pandemics. Rev. Christian Faiya and Mr. Kpawuru Sandy reaffirmed their support for ongoing initiatives and pledged to address any challenges hindering the project’s progress.
Overall, the joint monitoring visit served as a platform for constructive dialogue, sharing of best practices, and reaffirmation of the Red Cross’s dedication to serving vulnerable communities in Sierra Leone.
