The four components of the programm

The four components of the programme – sanitation,
health and hygiene education, water supply and disaster
preparedness – make up the integrated CVR approach.
To ensure that appropriate communities were targeted,
Red Cross staff, accompanied by local officials, visited
villages and selected those to be included in the
programme according to pre-agreed criteria. To benefit,
villages had to:

have been affected by flooding within the previous 12
months

comprise mainly ethnic minority groups

have an average income lower than the provincial
average

have limited infrastructure.
