Annex 10: WASH for EbolaDate updated: 18/12
Humanitarian Response Two Sludge trucks from US-DART team will be handed over to UNICEF and Liberia Water and Sewer Corporation (LWSC) this week to start transporting liquid
sludge being overflowed in Septic tanks in two ETUs to the Fiamah (Monrovia) waste water treatment plant to store and treat infectious liquid waste. These septic tanks were emptied and temporarily stored in UNICEF provided poly tanks. With the funding assistance of USAID, UNICEF will get into an operational plan with Liberia Water and Sewer Corporation (LWSC) to continue emptying and transporting liquid infectious waste from ETUs. UNICEF, in consultation with infection prevention and control (IPC) experts from WHO and ICRC, is organizing a practical training session on handling of Waste by Operators and Drivers of sludge trucks of LWSC Subnational coordination has to be reinforced, and partners working in the EVD response should engage with the WASH cluster coordinators at county level.
The WASH Cluster Coordination group conducted a day long capacity building workshop on Integrated WASH assessment and monitoring for County level WASH Coordinators and other technical staff of MOPW. The main objective of the workshop was “Technical and coordination capacity development of WASH team at sub-national level in support to Ebola response using RITE (Rapid Isolation and Treatment of Ebola) approach”. A total of 35 participants attended including MOH environmental health staff and few NGO staff. Major focus of this workshop was on assessment and monitoring of WASH facilities, before and after installation, by MOPW county technical teams with available INGOs support. It was facilitated by MOPW Assistant Minister, National Cluster Coordinator, MOPW WASH Engineer, Public Health Engineer from OXFAM, UNICEF Cluster Coordinator and two UNICEF WASH specialists. WASH Cluster organized this workshop with financial, logistical and technical support of UNICEF Liberia.
WASH Cluster members have agreed to form five technical working groups (TWGs) in its last weekly meeting with a focal person as chair with an alternative to steer working group work and to report their activities to the Cluster meeting. The TWGs are: ETU/CCC; waste management; Integrated WASH assessment, Hygiene promotion and social mobilization and sub-national coordinator. Each TWGs will draft its major tasks in relation to Ebola response.
The Ministry of Public Works with support from WASH cluster members at county level have begun monitoring the distribution of hygiene promotion kits and their use at household levels. One of the Ebola hard hit communities of Telbormai in Voinjama was monitored during the last week. The first sub-national level coordination meeting for the WASH Ebola Away Response was also initiated during this period
Out of 13 incinerators brought in the country 12 were installed. ICRC is leading the training and technical support for the assembly of these 13 incinerators to be used for bio-med waste at the ETUs in and around Monrovia. UNOPS and WHO organized training for operators from Government counterpart and NGOs who have taken operational responsibility.
WHO, MOHSW, IMC, IOM and MSF are operating and maintaining WASH facilities in ETU for 750 beds capacity in the country (Lofa, Bong, Montserrado, Bomi, Nimba and Margibi counties). IMC with the support of Save The Children open a new ETU in Margibi, and IOM in Tumaburg with the support of USAID/AFL.
The construction of the WASH system for additional ETUs in the country with 16 ETU’s under construction (beds) (Actors: UNICEF, WFP, WHO, AFL, WHH, USAID and WB). These are being assessed by WASH cluster assessment teams to ensure fulfilling minimum WASH requirements with their technical advice and recommendations. As of now 9 of these were assessed for WASH by the Cluster organized teams and schedules for the remaining are being worked out with operating entities. The assessment teams of the cluster also assessed three CCCs in Margibi, Fishtown and in Lofa counties.
As part of UNICEF’s continued support to rehabilitation of the water supply system and sanitation facilities in ETUs, UNICEF provided 12 units of poly tanks and 3 submersible pumps to the unity Centre ETU to pump out waste water from the overflowing tank with proper drainage.
Rehabilitation and upgrade of the water supply system and sanitation facilities in ELWA-2 ETU is almost halfway to complete. The work involves construction of 2 toilets, 2 showers and a storm water drainage system and rehabilitation of pipelines for water supply.

Annex 11. Finance & Donation coordinationPlan for achieving objective Current Status and Actions UnderwayCommunicate the role of donations coordination to potential donors & establish information & donation point. Currently several donations are made outside the structure and information is not always shared with the donations coordination team
• To hold a public service announcement with information on where and how to make donations
• Need for a comprehensive list of immediate needs to share with potential donors• Need for a dedicated website for the National Ebola Command Center to facilitate
dissemination of donations information• There are currently two separate accounts for donations (Ebola Trust Fund and MoHSW
Ebola Account).
Collate and communicate relevant information (transport, duty and fees) to potential donors
• Ad hoc submission of various requests from different agencies/organizations for duty waivers, airport handling fees and transportation from airport.
• Relationship with Liberia Revenue Authority (LRA) established to expedite duty waivers. • The new organization of the logistics cluster will address other challenges.
Collect, compile and report donation information to relevant stakeholders
Donation database currently updated on a daily basis. Reports are produced weekly. Meeting with Ministries of Finance & Development Planning and Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Ministry of Health and Social Welfare to reconcile and harmonize donations.

Annex 12. Food security
Graph of key indicator e.g. food/ commodity prices to be added
Objectives Current Status / Actions Required / Issues to be escalatedProvision of Food to affected people
• WFP delivered food to 37,700 beneficiaries in five counties in the last two weeks: Grand Cape Mount, Lofa, Maryland, Nimba and Sinoe. Since August, WFP has provided support to care for more than 200 patients and survivors, to 15,000 isolated households and to 566,700 persons in areas of intense and widespread transmission. FAO Signed an agreement with African Development Corps (ADC) to implement the conditional cash transfer initiative with 20 women associations. Training of women associations in VSLA methodologies and governance.
Understand situation Joint Rapid Assessment at National level (MoA, WFP, FAO): The impact of EVD on Food Security is significant in most affected communities and special care should be given to them. EVD had a huge impact on rural economy through the closure of boarders and markets. Saving and loans schemes were affected as well as trading, the second source of income for 73% of affected population.
Current needs / challenges
• Continued food and livelihoods assistance for people affected by EVD;• Limited inclusion of local cassava products (gari) in food aid support to ebola affected patients and hhs• Need to revitalise Village Savings and Loans Associations (mostly Women) through injection of cash• Need Balance between longer-term food/economic security interventions and ebola-related food actions
Current status of Ebola impact and potential risks
From WFP VAM Nov 2014 “Special Focus Ebola”: • Estimate current 480,000 food-insecure people in Liberia with Ebola-driven accounting for 80,000. • Predict under Low Ebola Scenario * number of Ebola-driven food-insecure people rises to 380,000 by March 2015 (and total of 840,000).• Would see food security worsening in Gbarpolu, Bong, Margibi and Grand Cape Mount in particular. *disease continues to spread at the average rate observed in the previous 42 days and then begins to slow down by January 2015

Annex 14. Development Projects
Current status Actions Required & by whom?
RIA runway: project delayed (6 months?) as not confident quality companies will tender for the contract now
Need to identify criteria required for contractors, consultants to return to sites.
Some indicators include:- lifting of the State of Emergency, - resumption of service of more than one
international airline- positive assessment of healthcare risks (e.g. an
acceptable hospital is Ebola free and able to treat non-Ebola emergencies)
- reduction of the new cases rate to an acceptable percentage of peak (if not 0 new cases),
Mount Coffee: on-site construction works suspended until Ebola situation under control; manufacturing, procurement, and other project management activities continue as plannedHFO (JICA, WB, GoL): all stalled no work ongoing. Risk of 1 year delayRed light to Gbarnga road: Contractors have envoked force majeure. Risk of loss of dry season and one year delayFish Town to Harper: Progress has been ongoing to enable works to begin without major further delayFeasibility study for Ganta – Tappita: cannot tender for consultant as quality companies will not bid in current circumstancesAgriculture: ?
What is the impact of ebola on major development projects? Which major projects have been critically impacted?
Most of the crucial development projects have stalled – potential major impact and losing dry season. Contractors and supervising engineers have pulled out. Required financing from GoL budget is at risk due to forecast Budget shortfall.
Updated: 27/11
Annex 15. Immediate economic issues
Specific Objectives to mitigate impact Current Status and Actions Required & by whom?The Ebola Private Sector Management Group (EPMSG) are developing a private sector engagement plan that will identify their strengths and abilities as implementing partners for the Ministry of Finance and Development Planning’s Economic Stabilization and Recovery Plan.
Ministry of Finance and Development Planning are consolidating the Economic Stabilisation and Recovery Plan into a project by project synopsis and lining up potential partners.
Six NGOs and UN agencies have initiated a national social-safety net programme that is led by the Ministry of Gender, Children and Social Protection. Initial ideas and geographic coverage have been proposed and the Ministry and UNDP (co-chair) will evolve the plan. There is strong donor interest.
Final mapping of initial proposals needs to be completed to provide an initial picture of social safety net coverage for Liberia in 2015 and how it links into re-investment and livelihoods opportunities for sustainability.
The World Bank has confirmed the its interest in supporting social safety net programmes. USAID has also shown significant interest. Both agencies are keeping in close contact with the Ministry and UNDP as the co-chair of the Technical Working Group on Social Safety Net Cash Transfers.
The banking infrastructure and mechanisms for making payments is under stress. UNDP is working with the banks and mobile money networks to help them function better in areas outside Monrovia. Longer-term interventions will be needed to overcome the problems that are faced, but some quick fixes may be possible. UNDP is engaged with USAID, NetHope and others that have had this issue on the radar for some years.
What is the status of most critical impacts on the economy from the ebola crisis (e.g. concession operations, investment, cross-border trade, government finances etc)
- Current growth rate projects are down to 1% (initial estimate of 8.7% at the start of the year)- 17 percent increase in prices of essential commodities on year on year basis. - Tax revenues expected to contract by 19%- Hardest hit relating to the labor market: agriculture, fisheries, mining- Montserrado, Grand Kru, Sinoe, and Maryland are the most economically impacted counties according to UNMIL data.- There is a disproportionate number of women affected by the loss of livelihoods according to Liberia’s Association of
Marketers- Overall, Ebola is driving communities into higher levels of poverty

Annex 17A. ETU Threat Assessment
• Violence targeting ETU/CCC is extremely low. Most agitation comes when family
members are seeking information about their loved one in the facility and the
personnel fail to provide an update. As long as facilities are briefing the family
members on the condition of their family member, tensions should remain low.
• Recent demand for dignified burial for victims. Many in the community have expressed
concern over cremating the remains and not having a place to go, nor grieve. Reports
of affluent members of the community successfully retrieving their loved ones and
taking their remains from the facilities to a burial site.
• Petty crimes and theft are expected around the facilities like any other location.
Update: 5/12
Annex 17B. Security Assessment
• The overall security situation in Liberia remains calm but fragile.
• The border situation with Cote-d’Ivoire (CDI) remains calm. The Government of Liberia
(GoL) issued a directive to close all Border Crossing Points (BCP) to contain the Ebola
outbreak until further notice.
• Cancellation of the State of Emergency, markets are reopened in Liberia and the
curfew is midnight to 0600 local.
• The National Election Committee (NEC) submitted a recommendation for Senatorial
Election to be held December 16, 2014 and the date was approved.
• Civilian education began on 17 Nov 14 and campaigning started on 20 Nov 14 and will
continue until 15 Dec 14 (24 hours prior to the election).
