Project profile — Improving Integrated Health Services for Women, Teenage Girls and Children in Haiti

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 as of December 2022 include: (1) 35,549 women delivered in health facilities in the areas served by the project, or 103% of the target; (2) 100,728 women and girls of childbearing age, or 93% of the target, had access to sexual and reproductive health services, including modern methods of contraception; (3) 15.5% of adolescent mothers and pregnant adolescents in the areas served reached in 2022, a gap of 5.5% compared with the target of 10% set for that same year; and (4) 3,270 children ages 0 to 5 (1,543 boys and 1,727 girls) have been treated for severe malnutrition. In addition, 8,018 children (3,620 boys and 4,398 girls) have been treated for moderate acute malnutrition, or 106.9% of the target.
