Communities’ social support

Beyond the management of people affected by the Nachtigal project, NHPC is an essential player in the economic and social vitality of the five districts on which the project is located: Mbandjock, Batchenga, Ntui, Soa and Obala.

In addition to the creation of direct and indirect jobs, NHPC carries out several other actions to improve the living conditions of communities.

Improving health care

NHPC strongly supports the health management of local populations. The companzy builds/rehabilitates and equips hospitals and medical centers in the project area, strengthens the capacities of their staff in particular in epidemiological monitoring and regularly carries out awareness campaigns within the communities (onchocerciasis, HIV-AIDS, waterborne and parasitic diseases, Covid-19, etc.). These actions are part of an extensive community health plan.

Support for vulnerable people

NHPC pays particular attention to people affected by the Nachtigal project who are in a vulnerable situation.

The fight against gender-based violence

NHPC has actively participated in the fight against gender-based violence, in particular through awareness-raising activities within communities but also on the Nachtigal site during the construction phase. The company has also trained and installed a social worker from the NGO ALVF at the Batchenga District Medical Center to facilitate the care of survivors of this type of violence, both in terms of psychological follow-up and legal advice.
