The wanainchi who attended the Drama competitions April 1, 2013 at Kyampara Primary School, Isango sub county vowed to participate in local government processes after realising that it was their responsibility to identify their needs and forward them to the sub county. The event was organised by KALI in partnership with RWECO and the focus on social accountability in the sectors of water and health. during the event, the chief guest Mr. Hon Mayora District councilor assured community members present that," community members must stop saying water is GOD given" a fee must be paid to ensure water supply, operation and maintenance is efficient and sustained. the music competition was meant to sensitize and raise awareness on the involvement of all community members in ensuring equitable resource distribution and service delivery especially the vulnerable groups. on Health, emphasis was made on promoting preventive measures and ensuring timely reporting of cases to Health center for early treatment. according to the speech by the Chairman LC.III, sanitation and hygiene in isango sub county was not also doing well. the major reason being poor water flow and supply schedule. the annexing of the cotton belt where most landlords do not have latrines was also identified as one other challenge.
MDD was appreciated as one of the best way of raising awareness and disseminating massages to agiven community. two groups participated and the winning team received 20 T.Shirts and 130,000. the cash prize was given to the group so as to promote their Village Savings Loan Associations (VSLA) which helps improve livelihood of MDD group members.
