Abstract
For a decade now, three aspects have been essential in a
management system of space: water, hygiene and sanitation. These three terms of
proven interpenetration reveal necessary realities, through the environmental
and social policy of a forest company, particularly in the life base. The SEBC
-Lokomo, a subsidiary of the Thanry group, is the forestry company in which we
conducted this study. Indeed, an environmental and social policy includes
taking into account measures relating to water, hygiene and sanitation. The
question is, what scope for better monitoring of a water policy, hygiene and
sanitation in the life basis? Beyond demonstrating that it is an aspect
considered in the forestry company, it is also about presenting a specific
monitoring could ensure its impact in its implementation, showing that specific
monitoring could make it possible to ensure and ensure its impact on the
company's productivity and performance. Then, to propose to the company manager
to make a specific program to improve the monitoring of thewater policy,
hygiene and sanitation in the life basis. Finally, to develop a logical
framework for the implementation of this policy.
After a review of the literature on the general aspects of
water, hygiene and sanitation, we carried out observations and exchanges
(questionnaires + data collection sheets) with different social groups and
specific individuals. Field practices (company policy) were compared by the
applicable standard.
Access to safe drinking water also impacts significantly on
health and development at the national, regional and local levels. In some
regions, it has been shown that investing in water and sanitation could lead to
a net economic benefit, where the reduction of harmful health effects and
health care costs more than offset these expenses. This applies to large-scale
water supply infrastructure like the water treatment at home. Experience has
also shown that interventions to improve access to safe water, whether for
forest area frame or not, benefits the most from efficient component of the
infrastructures management strategy and cleanliness.
Water, hygiene and sanitation (WASH) dramatically affect clean
wellness of the populations who facethe problem of limited resources. Thus, the
focus of this problem, water must be managed responsibly to ensure
sustainability. His collection, distribution, processing, preservation as its
consumption obey strict standards, pledges of good health of the people.
Maintaining and improving the health of populations are
closely related to hygiene. This hygiene lived both individually and
collectively, also requires a number of attitudes and behaviours. Human
communities, according to their perceptions and ways often set the rules.
Those same constraints will be found in the concept of
Sanitation closely linked to water and hygiene. The various waste human
consumption and activities if they are not properly managed is becoming a
problem of human and environmental health.Eventually, the monitoring of all of
these rules WASH should lead to a better recognition and better quality of
life.
The following conclusion after our study is that better
monitoring is imperative, therefore better monitoring of the staff trained in
the task, and consideration of all stakeholders; this would improve the
well-being of the rights holders.
All these solutions show that this question at the global
level must be first processed across the WASH policy at the Group Executive
Board Vicwood-Thanry, based in Douala, and implement on the Lokomo site for
better monitoring.
