On the Sunday morning, when the champagne glasses hadn't yet been cleaned, the crowds were still dispersing from the overnight beach parties, and the church congregations were dancing and clapping in jubilation, we were back on the road for a traditional reconciliation ceremony in one of the capital's former Ebola hotspots.

Providing care and protection in Ebola times and beyond

Recovering from Ebola is a remarkable achievement, but surviving doesn't mean everything returns to how it was before. On an individual level, health issues can persist in addition to lost livelihoods, stigma and trauma. At a community level, Ebola has also caused considerable damage – something that UNICEF with support from DFID is working to counteract. The day after the Ebola outbreak ended, we're back at work. At the dusty Lion's football field in the Ferry Junction area of the capital, men, women and children shelter under a make-shift tarpaulin roof that billows up and down in the heavy winds. The rainy season is sending out a parting shot before it leaves for next year. After the introductions, it's the turn of 12-year-old Aminata* to take the microphone. She tells of the care she received from the community when she was in Ebola quarantine – the encouraging hand-written notes passed to her by friends along with gifts of fruit and other small presents. However she also shares the downside – being kept apart from her brother after he was discharged from the treatment centre: those around thought they were

protecting her from further harm. She also speaks about the moment she was told her mother had died of Ebola – news she only received after the burial had taken place. As she described losing her “best friend”, her “everything” and “the only person she had ever felt close to”, people throughout the small gathering sobbed heavily. Her father had first gotten ill, and been cared for at home by Aminata's mother and brother. All three later died while under care at an Ebola Treatment Unit. Aminata was followed on the podium by a young boy, Ibrahim*. He had lived with an uncle who fell sick with Ebola. A neighbour called the 117 hotline and the uncle was taken away by health care workers, though he died the same day. In the coming weeks several other people in the household were also infected, and the house was under quarantine for around 60 days. Ibrahim described how his friends stayed away, and how his home was nicknamed the 'Ebola house'. When the quarantine ended, no-one wanted to play with him and friends ran away. At football time, no-one picked him for the team. In school, no-one wanted to sit next to him. In communities, Ebola has caused divisions, hurt and trauma that puts social cohesion at risk. In response, UNICEF is working with partners to use traditional healing ceremonies to promote dialogue and restoration. This sort of ceremony was last used at the end of the civil war in Sierra Leone to help facilitate community healing. Many families were unable to say goodbye to the deceased in the traditional way, either because of the speed of burial or because they themselves were in quarantine or isolation. The normal rites such as vigils, religious ceremonies, and the traditional sharing of 'fourah' (rice paste) with kola nuts and the meat of a sacrificed animal were limited by quarantine, restrictions on gatherings, and economic hardship. “A lot of people felt they hadn't been able to

move on because these acts of remembering and sharing are very central for communities, including in the appeasing of the dead,” said Batu Shamel, a Child Protection officer with UNICEF. “In some communities they believe that without these ceremonies, the deceased won't transfer successfully to the next life.” The Ebola outbreak has also created divisions between neighbours, and between community leaders and communities. Unresolved tensions and accusations of blame remain in instances where neighbours might have called the 117 hotline to report a sick person next-door, who later died after they were taken away. Contact tracers who placed people in quarantine attract residual ill-feeling even if they were doing a vital job. And some survivors and other affected people continue to feel the effects of stigma and discrimination. These community healing ceremonies represent the first chance for such grievances to be aired. In an emotional scene, one community member openly accused a local councillor of being responsible for the death of his relative because of the councillor's reporting of the sick man to the 117 hotline. The meetings give opportunities to community leaders and others to explain why certain things were done, and to ask for forgiveness for the hurt caused. At the end of the meeting, dialogue was restored between the two parties, and a greater understanding of what went on. On Sunday 8 November 2015, the day after the ending of the outbreak, a memorial church service was held in Ferry Junction and the names of the deceased were read out and commemorated. In the afternoon, as the wind and rains died down, prayers were said, and after testimony from children and adults, community leaders asked for pardon, and promised to support the affected. As the sun came out, a lamb was killed and shared out, with rice paste and kola nuts. The world may not yet have a cure for Ebola, but the hard work of healing its after-effects is now underway. * Name of child changed to protect identity

uick thinking by head teacher Abdul Kamara saved Kroo Bay Community Primary School's c h i l d r e n f r o m d i s a s t e r. Moments before the deluge, 150 students and the school's eight teachers were inside, busy with the day's lessons.

“I was inside and I could see the rain coming down heavy,” said Abdul. “I went out to see how the water was rising. When I saw how close the water was to the school, I instructed the teachers to remove the kids. A few minutes later, I saw the water enter the school.” Within a few hours the flood waters rose to within five inches of the school roof. Kroo Bay Community Primary School is located in one of the coastal slum areas of Sierra Leone's capital Freetown, vulnerable to regular floods in the rainy season. But the torrential downpours in Freetown on 16 September 2015 were unprecedented. “This kind of flooding has never happened before,” said Abdul. “Normally flooding comes in, but it doesn't come in to destroy like that.

UNICEF joined the humanitarian response and has been providing emergency water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), shelter, health, nutrition and protection interventions. UNICEF is also supporting the government respond to the education needs of children affected by the floods across the country, including children from the Kroo Bay community. “We went to Kroo Bay which is probably the most severely affected community in Freetown, and we saw the community school almost totally damaged,” said Lang Ma, UNICEF Education Specialist. “We saw mud and debris everywhere – on the floor, on campus, in the classroom. It is frustrating for us adults, and it's even more frustrating for children who are not able to go back to the school after this.” UNICEF education teams are working to help the community transition back to a normal life. “We are going to provide educational opportunities and psycho-social support to take care of their learning

But even last year Ebola was not the biggest childhood killer in these parts. Sierra Leone has one of the highest rates of child and maternal deaths in the world with a maternal mortality ratio of 1,165 per 100,000 live births and under 5 mortality at 156 per 1,000 live births (figures With her small baby, Marie had travelled seven miles on recorded before Ebola struck). dusty and pot-holed roads from their village, Robuya, to In an effort to end these needless child and mother attend neo-natal clinical services at the health centre. deaths, UNICEF has been working with partners like the â&#x20AC;&#x153;I travelled all the way from my village to seek better European Union, DfID and USAID to support the health care for my baby since it's free of charge,â&#x20AC;? said Government's Free Health Care initiative, launched by Marie as she entered the health centre.

Working with communities to curb teenage pregnancies By Harriet Mason Communication Officer

All too often, adolescent girls disappear from the development agenda, even as progress is made on education, health, HIV/AIDS and protection against violence. The importance of redoubling efforts and focusing on adolescent girls is the emphasis of the 2015 International Day of the Girl Child. This year's theme is 'The power of the adolescent girl: Vision for 2030'.

When the girls are on holidays, their mentor, Mbalu Kaikai checks on them. “I visit each and every one of UNICEF and its partners are supporting local and them at their homes to make sure they are ok. We national programmes to help prevent pregnancy discuss any issues they have and try to address them together,” Ms. Kaikai says. among teenage girls and keep them in school.

very afternoon, 17-year-old Isatu Jah and a group of other young girls gather in a community hall in the village of Kpangbama, in southern Sierra Leone, to plan for the future. This is the Empowerment and Livelihoods for Adolescents (ELA) club, which works to reduce teenage pregnancy by providing a safe space for girls through training in life skills, with a strong focus on sexual and reproductive health.

In addition to discussing teenage pregnancy, the girls can also get training in tie-dye, soap making, tailoring or hairdressing, and are coached in financial literacy skills to help them learn the concept of saving and become self-reliant. After the training, they receive start-up materials and a loan, to help them set up small businesses so they can support themselves and their families. Impact on health and progress

Teenage pregnancy is a pervasive problem in Sierra Leone that affects girls' and young women's health and Isatu says some of her teenage friends have become their social, economic and political progress and mothers, and their experience motivated her to join the empowerment. The Ebola crisis has exacerbated the

The closure of schools, combined with the “I always encourage girls to stay in school, because that economic impact on the economy, has increasingly led will help them live better lives in future,” she adds. poor and vulnerable families to adopt desperate survival strategies. Benefits of education The survey 'Children's Ebola Recovery Assessment in Sierra Leone' by Plan International, Save the Children, World Vision International and UNICEF found reports of increased child labour, exploitation, violence and exposure to teenage pregnancy. Most girls who became pregnant have not been able to return to school.

While teenage pregnancy remains a major issue affecting girls and young women in Sierra Leone, it has been on the decline in Kpangbama. “Girls are not getting pregnant as they used to before,” says mentor Ms. Kaikai. “They are more aware of reproductive health and family planning facilities. None of our schoolgirls got pregnant when schools closed down, and I'm sure they Meanwhile, a rapid assessment conducted by the will all return to school when they reopen.” United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA) on adolescent pregnancy still awaits official confirmation, Isatu agrees that she and other girls in her village are but preliminary results indicate that more than 14,300 now aware of the benefits of education and are inspired girls in Sierra Leone became pregnant during the Ebola to focus more on their schooling. health emergency. “I'm working harder in school because I know it is The Government has launched a new scheme to set up important for me to be educated to improve life for my special systems to help pregnant girls continue their family.

comes home sick. He calls 117, and the ambulance team arrives promptly and takes charge of the situation. “We have this creative way of making the messages, because people were tired of us telling them the same messages [over and over] again,” says Joy Caminade, of UNICEF Sierra Leone. “This is a way for them to enjoy the messaging, to be more attentive to the messengers, and be able to take home the messages to their families, to their communities, to their friends and to their classmates.”

“Through these drama groups, we are reviving a long tradition of using comedy to address social issues in Sierra Leone,” says Fredrick James, the UNICEF Communication for Development Officer responsible for the initiative. “Comedians helped bring peace and reconciliation following the civil war. Now we are using “This play is very good for us,” says 12-year-old Zeinab Khoury. “It is a reminder to all of us children to wash our them to fight Ebola.” hands before we enter the classroom.” Creative approach The Ebola outbreak in Sierra Leone infected at least 8,704 people and killed at least 3,589.

Providing care and protection, in Ebola times and beyond

By bringing isolation facilities to the village level and making it easier for people to seek treatment, Community Care Centres in Sierra Leone have made a critical contribution towards getting to zero Ebola transmissions. They have also helped build public trust in the medical system, critical for a healthier future.

fter two days suffering severe headaches, Mamadu Sesay thought he might have contracted the Ebola virus. Fearing the worst, Mamudu made his way to the Kania Community Care Centre (CCC) in Sierra Leone's Kambia District, operated by the District Health Management

Team, with support from UNICEF and the UK Department for International Development (DFID). “I walked here by myself, because I felt really bad,” says Mamadu. “I was afraid I might have Ebola.” Seeking professional medical help is not a reflex for everyone who gets sick in Sierra Leone, and trust in the public health system was undermined by the Ebola epidemic, which severely stretched resources. Ebola also had a heavy impact on health workers themselves: Between January 2014 and March 2015, more than 325 were infected by the virus, and more than 150 died, in a country that before the epidemic had fewer than 140 doctors for its 6 million population, according to the World Health Organization.

When Mamadu arrived at the CCC feeling sick, he was met by Amara Kamara, a security guard who Mamadu Breaking down barriers knows from his village. Amara assisted him with the precautionary procedures taken when entering the Within this context, the CCCs were set up by UNICEF, health facility. with support from DFID, in Bombali, Tonkolili, Kambia and Kono districts. Two more CCCs were later added in “I am the security guard protecting life and property,” Western Area. The CCCs didn't just bring isolation Amara says. “When a patient comes, my responsibility is facilities to the village level – essential in containing local to tell the patient to do the handwashing and take his or outbreaks; they also broke down barriers to people her temperature. After that, I will show him or her where seeking care. to go for triage.” At the height of the Ebola crisis, 46 UNICEF-supported centres were providing services throughout the country. Staff received training on infection prevention and control (IPC), and protocols were put in place before they opened. In addition to practicing correct use and disposal of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) and reviewing IPC principles, there were role plays involving different patient scenarios.

The CCCs employ staff from the community like Amara in order to foster good relations, community ownership and utilization. Day-to-day operations such as screening and providing care are led by nurses from the District Health Management Teams. Hygienists, cleaners and s e c u r i t y s t a ff r e s p o n s i b l e f o r s a f e t y a n d decontamination staff are also recruited from the community.

“CCCs bridged the gap between the community and the health system,” says Liya Aklilu, UNICEF Health Specialist and UNICEF CCC Coordinator for the Ebola Response. “The UNICEF CCCs alone screened 33,391 people – and we're still counting. They cast a very wide net, which is what you need to do in order to proactively identify suspected cases. Their location in the community and accessibility were also crucial, as our data show that people came to the CCCs early, when symptoms presented, making early isolation a possibility and helping to reduce possible transmission in the community.”

After checking Mamadu's temperature and interviewing him, including asking whether he has other symptoms of Ebola, the attending nurse determined that Mamadu did not meet the case definition for admission to the CCC and referred him to the nearby PHU for further tests. The CCCs supported the existing health system not just by isolating suspected cases, but also ensuring referrals were exchanged between the two.

The idea was go beyond the notion of 'Build it and they'll come' and instead invest actively in making sure communities used the facilities and put aside misplaced fears about Ebola. One of the ways this was carried out was by engaging people as liaisons between villagers and the CCC. Dauda Kamara is the community focal point working with the Kania CCC. “When the CCC started, people in the community were afraid, saying that the CCC staff are going to give something that is going to kill all of the community,” he says. “That is why UNICEF got together with the paramount chief, the section chief and the head of town and engaged some of us to take responsibility – to work with the CCC and the community members. “I would go to the community and discuss with them, telling them the importance of the CCC and inform them of the advantage of the CCC. Now a lot of them are

Leaving the CCC, Mamadu appeared visibly relieved at the good news that the symptoms and pain he had been experiencing over the past two days did not correspond to Ebola. At the PHU, located a short walk from the CCC, a rapid diagnostic test kit was used to diagnose that Mamadu had instead contracted malaria, another potentially deadly disease that shares some symptoms of Ebola but is far more easily treated. Mamadu was provided free medication and sent home. A lasting lesson If there's a lesson from the outbreak, it is the importance of community engagement. Long after the Ebola outbreak has passed, winning the trust of communities to use health systems will have a lasting benefit. In the fight against the numerous and largely preventable causes of childhood and maternal deaths, which in Sierra Leone occur at some of the highest rates in the world, this trust will be a fundamental advantage.
