Pilot Project for Hygiene and Sanitation in Health Centers in the Health Zone of Pobé-Adja-Ouèrè-Kétou
Date : May 2025 - 2026 | Communes : Pobè, Adja-Ouèrè, Kétou, Plateau
CACD-NGO, in partnership with the Ministry of Health, implemented a participatory approach to improve the maintenance of health centers (HCs) in the municipalities of Pobè, Adja-Ouèrè and Kétou, with a focus on women's empowerment and nutrition. At each HC, a group of women is responsible for transforming green spaces into small gardens, making the most of available land to produce fresh vegetables while beautifying the living environment. Twice a week, they sweep yards and paths to remove waste and dust and carry out weeding to remove the market garden plots to promote healthy plant growth. Thanks to these frequent actions, the health centers benefit from a more welcoming environment, conducive to the health of patients and staff, while contributing to the empowerment of local women through gardening.
