Kudan Local Government

In a significant move to bolster public health and environmental cleanliness, the Kudan Local Government Area has successfully launched and piloted the Water Sanitation and Environmental Health Management System (WEHMS). This innovative digital platform is designed to support and enhance the council's Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) program across all ten wards of the LGA. The WEHMS platform provides the council with its first comprehensive, data-driven tool for monitoring sanitation and hygiene practices at the household and community levels. Having been piloted successfully, the system has already populated a detailed database, granting the local government unprecedented insight into the real-time status of WASH initiatives across the entire area. "This is a game-changer for our public health strategy," said a representative from the council. "With WEHMS, we can now move from generalized interventions to targeted, evidence-based actions. We can identify specific needs, track progress, and allocate resources more efficiently to ensure no community is left behind." The launch of WEHMS marks a critical step in Kudan LGA's commitment to achieving sustainable development goals related to clean water and sanitation. By leveraging technology, the council is poised to improve hygiene standards, reduce environmental health risks, and foster a cleaner, healthier living environment for all residents.
