Achievements
• The *300 cholera free information hotline is active in the NorthWest Department. UNICEF (Berengere Antoine +509 34431219, berantoine2001@yahoo.fr) is planning a two day training of trainers in Port de Paix on 15th and 16th December 2010 – 30 people max.
• Chlorination of municipal supplies (approx 5 large water networks and 70 small water networks) slow (7 systems to date in Anse a Foleur / St. Louis du Nord) due to lack of chlorine dosers and technical problems (systems do not have taps and run continuously 24 hours a day). MSF-F planning to chlorinate part of the Port de Paix water network (4 points).
• DINEPA due to start household distribution campaign (aquatabs / soap / chlorox) next week some stocks already pre-positioned. Currently estimated 76,659 households in priority #1 and 37,384 households in priority #2 zones.
• ACF is planning distribution of a two week’s supply of aquatabs and soap to 15,000 families starting next week. ACF is ramping up their hygiene promotion activities in three communes (Port de Paix, Anse a Foleur, and Saint Louis du Nord) with hygiene promotion awareness activities targeted at market places, and with key community leaders. In addition, ACF have planned tap tap and bus spraying activities in public places. ACF is planning to distribute WASH NFIs to seven CTCs and CTUs (handwashing stations /buckets / brushes / mops / chlorox / soap / sprayers / gloves) that have not already received assistance.
• A mapping exercise (who, what, where, how) of civil society actors (Adventist, Baptist and Catholic religious networks, youth networks, scouts, electoral volunteers, governmental
networks, etc.) and NGOs is planned this week, along with a gap analysis, to be presented at the Friday meeting.
• WASH in health facilities a priority with potential of CTCs and CTUs becoming a significant source of transmission. On Saturday 4th and Sunday 5th December 2010, a series of rapid (30 minute) WASH assessments were carried out at a representative sample of Cholera Treatment Centres (CTCs), Cholera Treatment Units (CTUs) and Oral Rehydration Posts (ORPs) in Jean Rabel and St. Louis du Nord Communes of the North West Department of Haiti. Critical WASH-related gaps identified. Report will be circulated shortly.
• WFP is planning distributions of aquatabs, soap, handwashing stations, posters and training for school Directors at 163 schools.
• IOM has distributed WASH NFIs (600 gallons of chlorox, 50,000 bars of bathing soap, 20,000 bars of laundry soap, 100 basins, 100,000 aquatabs, 50,000 sachets of ORS, 1,500, hygiene kits, 5,000 jerry cans) to health centers in La Tortue, Port de Paix, Bassin Bleu, Chansolme, Anse a Foleur, Saint Louis du Nord, Jean Rabel, and Baie Henne.
Gaps
• NorthWest Department currently facing the second highest Departmental cholera caseload in the country (MSPP statistics).
• Severe lack of WASH actor presence. Urgent need for additional WASH actors.
• Assessments show severe problems with WASH in CTCs, CTUs, ORPs reported (lack of water, latrines, handwashing stations, laundering areas, wastewater management).
• Last chlorine deliveries to North West Department by helicopter on 26th October 2010 Jean Rabel (52 kgs) and Port de Paix (72 kgs) carried out. HTH stocks currently very low.

Gaps
Significant gaps in WASH response are present in North West Department (Port-au-Paix) and Anse Rouge, and in Centre Department (Cerca Caravajal, Cerca la Source, Tomassique, Savinette). WASH Actors are urgently needed to provide assistance in these areas.

from website:

Nord-Ouest (English: North-West, Haitian Creole: Nòdwès) is one of the ten departments (French: départements) of Haiti as well as the northernmost one. It has an area of 2,176 km² and a population of 445,080 (2003 Census). Its capital is Port-de-Paix.

With the exception of Tortuga Island and the coastal area near Port-de-Paix, the northwest is mostly arid and barren. Port-de-Paix, which was once a large exporter of coffee and bananas, now imports goods and produce from Miami. Once called Valparaiso by Columbus, there are still some lovely beaches and scenery. Tortuga island, once the biggest pirate bases in the Caribbean is a popular tourist site and is represented frequently in films and movies based on piracy. Named for the smooth shape that reminded travelers of a turtle's shell, Tortuga's best beach is Pointe Saline at the western tip of the small island. This area is very dry and offers little shade but has a beautiful shoreline. At Les Palmiste on the eastern coast visit a pre-Columbian rock carving presumed to be of native Taino origin of a goddess at La Grotte au Bassin exists.

The town of Môle Saint-Nicolas is located in the Nord-Ouest. Ever since Columbus landed here in 1492 and named the island Hispaniola, Môle St-Nicolas has been of interest to the colonials, including the British, Spanish, French, and the Americans due to its strategic location on the Windward Passage, just miles from Cuba. There are several ruined forts along the coast. On clear nights the Guantánamo Province of Cuba can be seen.
