IID reached more than 3500 people in 19 districts through Youth for Policy’s Mask Awareness Campaign.
Youth for policy is an initiative of IID. Formed in 2018, the initiative promotes active participation of youth into public policy. It is an extensive network and coalition of youth organizations and NGOs coming together to train youth in policy advocacy and provide them with a platform to voice their needs and opinions.
More than 215 volunteers raised awareness about the correct way of using, storing and cleaning masks to minimize their chance of transmitting virus as well as distributed reusable, environment friendly 3 layered cloth masks. The volunteers also embarked on community engagement by asking community members about their socio-economic situation during the pandemic.
