Speaking at the opening of the training today in Damaturu, the Project Coordinator, Alhaji Suleiman Dauda stressed the importance of the exercise for effective implementation, noting that credible, accurate and realistic data is critical to guide project planning, prioritization, and investment in water and sanitation services.
In a statement made available to newsmen by the information and communication officer of the Project Ali Musa Yawale, the project coordinator stressed that “Adherence to ethical standards, respect for communities, and strict compliance with the security briefing and field protocols.”
The PC further thanked His Excellency Governor Mai Mala Buni, CON, COMN, for his giant development efforts to many displacement-affected communities across the state and explained that the assessment will complement government efforts and provide vital information needed to identify gaps and guide targeted interventions.
