As part of ongoing efforts to support internally displaced persons (IDPs) and host communities in Benue State, Caritas Nigeria, in partnership with UNHCR Nigeria, conducted a supervision and monitoring visit to the ongoing perimeter fence construction at the Primary Health Centre (PHC) in Yelewata.
The joint monitoring exercise, carried out by Caritas Nigeria engineers and the UNHCR team, assessed the quality of work and provided technical guidance to ensure the project meets the required standards. Now 90% complete, the perimeter fence will enhance the security of the health facility, creating a safer environment for healthcare workers, patients, and the wider Yelewata community.
During the visit, the team also inspected the PHC’s solar-powered system and carried out technical adjustments to improve its efficiency, ensuring a more reliable and sustainable power supply for healthcare services.
This intervention is implemented under UNHCR’s Solutions for Internally Displaced Persons in Nigeria (SIDPIN) Project, which aims to strengthen protection and improve access to essential services for displaced persons and host communities.
Together with our partners, Caritas Nigeria remains committed to delivering sustainable protection interventions and improving access to quality services for vulnerable communities.
We appreciate @UNHCR for its continued partnership in building safer, healthier, and more resilient communities.
