Communicable and non-communicable diseases, and their consequences, are largely preventable through a variety of primary health care and health promotion approaches and interventions. In this regard, the Government of Eritrea has developed a national health care policy specifically targeted at community based multi-sectoral health promotion interventions aimed at ranging from awareness creation to behavioural changes, including improved health care seeking behaviour. On 27th August, the Ministry of Health (MoH) along with partners, conducted a consensus building and dissemination workshop on National Health Promotion Policy at Embasoira Hotel, Asmara.

Countries in the sub-Saharan Africa are riddled with problems related to deficit of water. That is why viable water management policy and judicious utilization of water is required for sustainable development. Why effective water management policy is needed in countries like Eritrea is so clear. The geographical location of Eritrea makes it susceptible to water crisis. What seems abundant may at any time be over exploited and leave populations in danger.
