All parties must have a clear understanding of the requirements to keep new or rehabilitated sanitation facilities in a good state of repair and hygienically clean. For this reason, Sanitation for Millions offers a wide range of orientation and capacity building activities prior to and alongside any intervention. 

Developing the capacities of healthcare workers and decision takers to sustain WASH services and promote and practice good hygiene with a focus on IPC. Moreover, capacity building activities to ensure the sustainable operation and maintenance of the facilities are implemented. 

Access to safe WASH facilities, such as toilets and handwashing facilities, as well as to hospital waste management facilities is crucial to uphold hygiene and IPC practices in HCFs. 

Before 1990, the area around Bau Sau was under severe pressures from local communities in Dak Lua Commune. Local people often entered the park for harvesting timber, fishing, and hunting animals. Conflicts between locals and forest rangers occurred frequently and seriously (with death, and a ranger station was burnt in 1990).

After establishment, the park managers focused on law enforcement. Number of donor projects in this period helped improving local livelihoods through productive and effective farming, e.g. irrigation, increasing rice crops cultivation from twice to three times/year, high yielding maize. With consensus from local people, households living in the core zone were supported to relocate to the buffer zones. Forest protection contracts were signed with local households, forest protection teams were established in villages around the park. Illegal activities were sharply reduced. Relationship with local communities has been improved, pressures on natural resources has reduced, and the habitat quality has been enhanced.

Along with proactive habitat restoration measures, wild fauna populations recovered rapidly. In addition to the Siamese Crocodile population that was re-established in Bau Sau area, other populations of animals of conservation concerns such as Gaur, and Green Peafowl etc. are well maintained.

In 1998, site managers and scientists discussed the possibility of reintroducing a crocodile population at Bau Sau. This was because the lake was situated in the historical occupation range of the species, and at that time, the habitat quality had been improved and ready for a reintroduction program. Feasibility studies were carried out. The park also held discussions among experts, managers, and authorities at all levels to gain consensus on the program.

In 2000, with the support from international experts, purebred Siamese Crocodiles, which are believed to have provenance from Cat Tien area, were selected from a farm in Ho Chi Minh City, to training for restoring their natural behaviours. From 2001 to 2005, a total of 60 adults were released into Bau Sau. In September 2005, the first baby crocodiles were recorded.

Recent monitoring shows that the number of individuals is increasing, the distribution area is also expanding with records in some neighbouring lakes. As of 2019, monitoring data has recorded at least 286 individuals (including 228 juveniles). Up to now, it can be confirmed that freshwater crocodile populations have been successfully re-established in Cat Tien National Park. The number and structure of the recorded population ensures that this is a healthy and viable population.

The five EbA/CSA measures were the fundamental building block that ensured the project's success.

They were selected because of their familiarity to, and suitability for, local people.

The measures helped project participants adapt their farming practices to climate change while improving and diversifying their livelihoods.

Building capacity of local partners was an important part of the project to enable achievement of results.

Capacity was built through online training and informal discussions.

Without capable partners, no field activities would have been implemented during the COVID-19 travel restrictions.

Partnerships with the provincial Taskforce, which oversaw the project's activities in general, and the provincial Agriculture Extension Center and Farmers’ Union helped achieve the expected results despite travel restrictions owing to COVID-19.

Partnerships with these local partners also led to the later integration of the project’s interventions into provincial partner’s programmes.

Workshops were held to reinforce knowledge of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), biosphere reserve management, climate change, sustainability, watershed management and agroecology, among others.

Capacities were developed for the creation of programs that contribute to the biosphere reserve management processes through the transmission of environmental programs.

Among the communication pieces, scripts were created for podcasts, which addressed the topic of biosphere reserves and their relationship with the SDGs and climate change.

An example of this is the podcast by La Voz de Puca, entitled "Área protegida Refugio de vida silvestre Montaña de Puca", which mentions SDG6 and how the mountain is a producer of water.

Radio Taragual created the slogan "Let's return to our roots so as not to destroy our common home", which was created after reflecting on the impacts of climate change and deforestation.

Radio Tenán produced informative capsules on UNESCO's MaB Program for the declaration of biosphere reserve territories, highlighting the four reserves in Honduras.

Since the three community radio stations, Tenán, Taragual and La Voz de Puca were founded in 2014, the technical equipment with which they started was damaged over time and because the radios are located in areas far away from urban centers, access to qualified personnel for repairs has been very complicated. As a result, the electronic equipment became obsolete and in poor condition. In addition to the above, none of the three community radio stations had lightning antennas and when there were electrical discharges during the rainy season, the transmitter was burned, causing the stations to remain out of the radio spectrum.

Therefore, the strengthening of community radio stations included the provision of radio broadcasting equipment to improve the signal and coverage.
