The initiative worked in key border areas with Guinea to build resilience and prepare communities should EVD cross the border into Guinea Bissau. The initiative educated and mobilised communities to preventthe spread of the disease and minimize the risk that the disease presents, should a case present itself.
Over the course of the project, approximately 3,614 community leaders (traditional and religious leaders and teachers) and 1,197 local activists were educated and trained in EVD risk reduction.
