Summary: In early 2012, Bolivia experienced a severe rainy season that affected almost 14,000 families and prompted the government to declare a State of National Emergency on 22 February. In response to the situation, the Bolivian Red Cross (BRC) developed a plan of action to assist 10,000 beneficiaries with food and non-food relief items, health and water, sanitation and hygiene promotion activities aimed at preventing the exacerbation of a dengue outbreak, and livelihood recovery activities. During the period covered by the current update, the National Society has reached 500 families in the city of Cobija, Pando department, with food parcels and hygiene kits. In addition, the BRC is carrying out coordination meetings with community members and local authorities, as well as printing informational materials and procuring mosquito nets in order to start implementing the health promotion and dengue prevention activities as soon as the relief distributions conclude. Given the current coverage of the emergency appeal, the National Society plans to complete all water, sanitation and hygiene promotion activities in an integrated manner with those of the health sector focusing its efforts only in Cobija, department of Pando. The National Society also plans to reach 500 families with livelihood recovery activities. However, implementation is jeopardized by a lack of funding and livelihood recovery activities are currently suspended pending more contributions to the emergency appeal budget which has only been 51 per cent covered.
