The project aims to improve the health and protect the rights of women, adolescent girls and children, including indigenous and afro-descendant populations, living in situations of vulnerability in Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Guatemala, Guyana, Haiti, Honduras, Nicaragua, Paraguay, Peru and Suriname. Project activities include: (1) strengthening national systems of health statistics to improve the reliability of data on maternal deaths; (2) strengthening the ability of health services to provide appropriate care for children, girls and women to prevent HIV transmission and other diseases transmitted from mother to child; (3) strengthening national capacity to develop annual action plans for immunization; and (5) strengthening national capacity in micronutrient distribution to children, women of childbearing age and pregnant women.

The expected outcomes for this project include: (1) better usage of essential health services; (2) enhanced management by national health authorities of leading diseases; and (3) improved nutritional practices in targeted populations.

Results achieved as of March 2019 include: (1) 11,948 health professionals were trained in clinical management of diseases and in applying skills according to national guidelines; (2) 3,140 community leaders, members and community health workers were trained to detect and monitor priority health issues; (3) 106,740 pregnant women received diagnostic screening and treatment (e.g. for HIV, STIs, cervical cancer, Chagas disease, dengue, etc.); and (4) 66,242 pre-school and school age children received deworming interventions.
