Description and results
Description
The project aims to improve the sexual and reproductive health of women and teenage girls, as well as the health of newborns and children in the two departments of Haiti’s Grand Sud region that were most affected by Hurricane Matthew in October 2016. It is strengthening 28 health institutions by, among other things, repairing infrastructure, providing equipment and medicines and training staff. By improving access to and quality of integrated health services focused on the needs of women and adolescent girls, the project aims to reduce teenage pregnancies by 75% and provide access to 72,000 more women to a modern contraceptive method. The project also aims to strengthen the Haitian government's capacities in health sector management, coordination and monitoring at the central and departmental levels. It is estimated that, every year, approximately 15,400 pregnant women, 3,000 women who are potential victims of gender based violence and 3,400 children are to benefit from the services provided by the health institutions supported by the project.
Expected results
The project’s expected outcomes include: (1) improved front-line health care and services in the two target departments, particularly in sexual and reproductive health and nutrition, that take into account gender equality and women’s rights; and (2) greater use of quality health services, particularly by women of childbearing age, mothers and children under five, in part through a strengthened community participation approach.
Results achieved
Results achieved as of December 2021 include: (1) 30,412 women gave birth in health institutions in areas served by the project (representing 88% of the project’s target); these centres noted a decrease in the maternal mortality rate for deliveries between 2020 and 2021; (2) delivered sexual and reproductive health services to 82,039 women and girls of reproductive age, including modern methods of contraception (93.1% of the intended target); (3) the delivery rate for adolescent mothers and pregnant girls in the areas served by the project is 14.6% in 2021, a gap of 4.6% compared with the target of 10% set for 2022; (4) treated 2,521 children aged 0 to 5 (1,181 boys and 1,340 girls) for severe acute malnutrition (67.2% of the target) and (5) treated 6,457 children (2,868 boys and 3,589 girls) for moderate acute malnutrition (86.1% of the target).
