The Tupone Wote Pamoja Project (TWP) Phase II (Healing Together in Eastern DRC) was implemented by SFCG in DRC from March to October 2020 with funding from USAID/OFDA.
The project supported the response to Ebola virus disease (EVD) by reducing social barriers and conflicts inherent in the treatment and referral of EVD patients, raising awareness of EVD transmission and prevention in affected communities, and increasing opportunities for sustained community involvement in the EVD response.
The evaluation found an increased acceptance of VME treatments with a baseline value of 56% which rose to 91% at the end of the project. Also, 97.5% of the respondents noted that they observed changes in attitude or behavior in the practices of members of their communities with regard to the prevention and treatment of VME during the period of the TWP II project.
