In order to increase the safety and protection factors for the families in Shat-ha, the Syrian Society for Social Development team in cooperation with the UNHCR organized a community initiative entitled "Shat-ha Leishmania pest control CLI”.
During the FGDs, the urgent need to control the insect pest that caused leishmania was observed. It requires spraying of the insecticide in an aerosol form. Insecticides are surface pesticides that do not harm human, animal or plant health. Therefore, the people proposed a CLI to spray the places where this insect was collected and to use appropriate pesticides under the supervision of specialists to reduce the spread of this insect, its harmful effects and eliminate its breeding grounds.
