Overview :

The UNDP project, “Building a Resilient Community Health System”, is designed to strengthen universal health care coverage and health delivery system, with specific emphasis on maternal, child and adolescent health care, in two border districts of Kambia and Kailahun. It focuses on supporting local governance structures pertaining to communal health service delivery; promoting appropriate health seeking behavior; aiding the delivery of quality health care through the rehabilitation of health and/or WASH infrastructure and the provision of supporting framework for increased community led advocacy targeting vulnerable communities’ health seeking behavior.

 

The project entails the involvement of local communities in improving community health and/or WASH infrastructure and restoring trust and utilization of health services through the support of field level advocacy amongst community health workers. Aligned to commitment to addressing urgent gender and youth issues, the project seeks to kick-start the economic recovery process, with modest cash for work initiatives to immediately improve community health infrastructure.

 

The overarching objective of the project is to promote an integrated approach to improving health outcomes for border and vulnerable communities in the two districts, to changing health seeking behaviors and to promoting resilient and economic recovery.
