Future In Our Hands The Gambia has recently concluded a one-day inception meeting with Peer Health Educator Program (PHEP) with stakeholders held at FIOHTG Conference room in Kotu South.
The meeting was intended to craft a strategic approach for rolling out Peer Health Educator Clubs in the NDOKK Schools aimed at influencing students’ behavior in relation to health, nutrition and Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH).
The rolling out of Peer Health Program aims to sustain and build upon the gains achieved from earlier interventions to secure well-being into adulthood and the next generation thus preparing them for the secondary level peer information.
The PHEP will be coordinated by FIOHTG in close collaboration with the Ministry of Basic and Secondary Education (MoBSE), Life Skills Education Unit, National Nutrition Agency (NaNA), Ministry of Health, Nova Scotia-Gambia Association (NSGA) and United Nations International Children’s Emergency Fund (UNICEF).
