This is the second episode in The HTLL Podcast's three-part series on Health, Nutrition, and WASH in Conflict Zones. In this episode, we’re joined by Natsayi Nembaware, ADRA International’s Sr. Technical Advisor for Nutrition, for a discussion focused on nutrition in conflict zones.
It’s a sobering fact: In several conflict zones, more deaths are attributed to illnesses resulting from poor health, nutrition, and access to WASH than just the bullets of war. In this episode, we discuss the challenges, opportunities, and realities of implementing WASH humanitarian interventions within the context of conflicts. Our guest is Mona Mohammed, ADRA International’s former WASH Advisor for the Middle East and North Africa region.
In this episode, we learn about an exciting technology for psychosocial support (PSS) from Eric Leichner, Regional Emergency Manager for the South America Division of the Seventh-day Adventist Church based in Brazil.
We've gathered a diverse group of ADRA colleagues (Shilpi from ADRA India; Davidson from ADRA International; Anna from ADRA Germany; and Melissa from ADRA International/Loma Linda) to discuss One Health and its growing relevance for the humanitarian sector.
