Banja Woreda’s White Flag
Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, April 7, 2009 (Ezega.com) -- Banja Woreda (District) is located in Awi zone of the Amhara region, 120km on the way from Bahir Dar to Addis Ababa. We visited the place recently and observed the sanitation and hygiene condition in a trip organized by Water Aid Ethiopia and WASH Ethiopia Movement, non-governmental organizations that are engaged in Water, Sanitation, Hygiene, and related activities.
The climate of Banja Woreda is mainly “Dega” (cold, highland) and “Woynadega” (temperate). The population is a mixture of Amhara and Awi (Agew) people, with an estimated total population of 104,000. The woreda is very good for raising potatos (up to fifteen types), bamboo, and recently started growing apple fruit. Banja Woreda is one of the three pilot woredas that were selected for a health extension program charted by the regional health bureau.
Water Aid Ethiopia and WASH Ethiopia movement arranged this trip to Baja Woreda in relation to World Water Day (March 22). By all accounts, Banja Woreda has been very successful in meeting the goals set out by the health bureau on sanitation and hygiene. The panel discussion held afterwards in Bahir Dar applauded the success of Banja Woreda for achieving 100 percent sanitation coverage.
