Description and results

Description

The initiative supports the implementation of maternal, newborn and child health programs, contributing to the reduction in the number of maternal, newborn and child deaths in the country’s northern region by working with the Ministry of health and the local population. This project provides additional funds in response to immediate needs to respond to the coronavirus pandemic (COVID-19). Project activities include: 1) support for the achievement of essential public health functions and the development of innovative strategies for adapting services; 2) support for the implementation of Integrated Management of Childhood Illnesses (IMCI), with a focus on malnutrition mainly affecting children; 3) support for the adaptation and strengthening of social mobilization activities for health, health promotion, prevention among populations, as well as activities to prevent violence against women / girls; 4) training and supervision of service delivery staff, support staff and support for the organization and adaptation of services; and 5) logistical support. This initiative is implemented through a consortium led by the Université de Montréal, and including the Centre d'étude et de coopération internationale.
